Champagne
Champagne is a province located in the northeast of France, and is well known for its famous white wine. Champagne is mostly fermented in two bottle sizes, the standard bottle (750 ML), and Magnum (1.5 L). In general, magnums are thought to be of higher quality, as there is less oxygen in the bottle, and the volume to surface area favours the formation of appropriately-sized bubbles.
