Webster's Dictionary (GCIDE)
Champagne \Cham*pagne"\, n. [F. See Champaign.] A light wine, of several kinds, originally made in the province of Champagne, in France. [1913 Webster]
Note: Champagne properly includes several kinds not only of sparkling but of still wines; but in America the term is usually restricted to wines which effervesce. [1913 Webster]
