Sparkling Wine

Champagne comes from the region of France, the rest is sparkling wine, but it all gets called Champagne. My wine was made for our daughter's wedding. It is off-dry which means it is slightly sweet. I custom ordered the labels. Sparkling wine isn't difficult to make, every new batch of wine I make I experiment and bottle two bottles in the heavy champagne bottles to see if it will be sparkling wine and if it will be drinkable. I also bag the bottles in case of an explosion, which has been known to happen!
