Often associated with good times and referred to as the drink of celebrations - Champagne is an incredibly popular drink worldwide, and if you want to enjoy this variety of white wine in Birmingham there are some exquisitive hospitality venues to choose from.
This sparkling wine originated in the Champagne wine region of France and is still produced exclusively there. It is a sparkling white wine variety but not all sparkling white wine is Champagne. There are a number of specifications for a wine to be designated Champagne apart from being produced in the eponymous region in France.
Sparkling white wine comes from many other places across the world, including Germany, Italy, the US, Spain and other parts of France. They have different names like Prosecco (and who doesn’t like a Prosecco brunch!), Sekt, Cava, and more depending on the part of the world they come from, according to Wine Country.
