The reason I used the term "bogus", as technically, Champagne must be
from the Champagne region of France to be called Champagne.
Otherwise, it is sparkling wine. Despite the misnomer, Korbel is
known for its low-end products. I'd go so far to say, Gallo now makes
much better wines than Korbel. Also, most high-end Fr Champagne
makers now have US vineyards in Napa CA. So, Mumm sparkling wine,
made in the CA, is an infinitely superior choice to Korbel. Bottom
line, Korbel is cheap swill, regardless of it being US produced.
Chrystonacrutch!.... even Cook's is better.
