Sparkling wine is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it, making it fizzy. The classic example of a sparkling wine is champagne, which is exclusively produced in the Champagne region of France.
In France and many other countries, the name Champagne is reserved for sparkling wines only if they were produced in the Champagne region of France. Thus, German sparkling wine is called Sekt, Italian sparkling wine is Spumante and Spanish sparkling wine is Espumoso. In America the term champagne (not capitalized) is considered generic and many of the lower priced sparkling wines are called champagne.
