		<description><![CDATA[ OK…..let’s make this easy……….sparkling wine is any wine that bubbles and froths when poured into a glass.  The bubbles we so enjoy emanate from a carbon dioxide build up in the bottle under pressure and dissolved in the wine.  If the wine is designated as Champagne, it must, by French law derive from the Champagne region [...]]]></description>
