To be precise, champagne was first produced in France, in the province of Champagne, which gave the drink its name. Only the residents of Champagne have the right to make sparkling wine and call it "champagne." So everything sold in stores under the guise of champagne is, in fact, far from the real thing.
Grapes for champagne must be of high quality. But that's not all. They have to be grown under specific conditions and meet all the standards and rules set by the Interprofessional Committee of Champagne Wines. To earn the name "champagne," a sparkling wine has to deserve it. Not all French wines achieve this honor, let alone wines from abroad.
The famous "Soviet champagne," later replaced by "Russian champagne," is in fact nothing more than an ordinary sparkling wine.
Champagne is considered a light alcoholic drink, or a spirit of medium lightness. Champagne is a must-have on the festive table of anyone who grew up across the former USSR. No matter what country that person now lives in, the symbols of the New Year stay the same: Olivier salad, champagne, and
tangerines
.
Champagne can be added to a variety of
cocktails
. It is also an essential ingredient in a cold punch (cruchon).
Champagne is served in slightly tapered glasses on a long stem. Such a glass is called a "flute" because it resembles the instrument. A flute should be filled with champagne only two-thirds of the way.
