Sparkling Wine production started in the 17th century in France, when a monk named Dom Pierre Pérignon planted vines. Ruinart, the oldest established Champagne house, was founded in 1729 and began shipping bubbly in 1764.
The style gained in popularity among French and English nobility. In 1745, Moët & Chandon became the first purveyor to a European royal court, at the court of King Louis XV.
Veuve Clicquot was then founded in 1772. Among other things, Madame Clicquot invented the riddling process to remove yeast after secondary fermentation, creating the traditional method of méthode champenoise.
Sparkling wines have been produced in the California since the 1860s
