Champagne, France owns exclusive rights to use the term champagne for their sparkling wine. The U.S. recognizes these rights in respect to President Carter's signature in the Treaty of Versailles. However, the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty. Therefore, the U.S. legally allows U.S. manufacturers of sparkling wine to name their product "champagne" if the manufacturer clearly indicates the geographical location in which the sparkling wine originates on their bottles.

Essentially, champagne and sparkling wine are synonymous in the product they describe, regardless of the lingo.

Wilson Creek Almond Flavored California Champagne retails for $10.99 at BevMo. The 750 ML bottle has an 11% alcohol by volume and arrives from Woodbridge, CA. The champagne displays a faint blonde shade when poured into a glass generating bitter and sugary scents. The beverage begins smooth with flavors similar to marshmallows and almonds while finishing with a slight kick of bitterness. The quick transition from sweet to bitter creates a delightful treat for the taste buds.
