In the universe of wines, Sparkling Wines are a system unto themselves. They come in a wide range of quality, with Champagne at the top. In addition to the Champagne region of France, Sparkling Wines are also produced in other regions of France, the Asti region of Italy, northeastern Spain, Germany, and parts of California and New York. Even Russia makes Sparkling Wine! These are areas where it is usually too cool to produce still wine.
