Regardless of whether you are a wine expert or not, sparkling wines are a subject that often confuses people. So, let's start with a short (wine) story. Legend has it that it was Dom Perignon (a monk) who discovered champagne by accident after tasting wine that unintentionally had been re-fermented in its bottle and was blown away by its sparkling taste. He then continued to ferment this in the bottle, and thus, champagne was born. Similarly, sparkling wines are wines that contain bubbles produced by the carbon dioxide created during the winemaking process. The only difference between champagne and sparkling wine is their place of origin. Sparkling wine can only be called champagne if it is made in Champagne, a region in France (located just outside of Paris). Both are similar in taste and alcohol content; however, champagne is pricier. 

So, if you are looking for similar bubbly wines, ditch your 'best champagne in India' search and turn to sparkling wine to save a few bucks. Browse our list of some good sparkling wines in India, and you'll get under INR 2,000 with no compromise on quality. So no more whining, only win(n)ing!
