Champagne is a sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France using secondary fermentation in the bottle to create carbonation. France produces 95% of the world's Champagne. The corks can travel at speeds up to 40 mph when opened, and the longest recorded flight is over 54 meters. There are many steps to producing Champagne, including harvesting, pressing, fermentation, blending, aging, riddling, disgorging, and dosage.

at speed
Pouring Champagne

along the side will preserve the most bubbles, as opposed to pouring directly down to

reduced loss of gas. Additionally, the industry is developing Champagne glasses designed
specifically to reduce the amount of gas lost.
