Chardonnay Pinot Noir

Foodie I think it's the ignorant American rearing it's ugly head again.

How many people don't realize that sparkling wine is the same as Champagne, just grown in a different place.

Sure you are going to get incredible differences between the two if you have a savvy palate, but for the general public, it's the same thing.

Therefore, if the Americans can put Champagne on their bottle then people will buy more. Doubtful. Unfortunately the Americans just haven't embraced bubbly, anyones bubbly, and it's a marketing ploy.
