Answer 2

How many actual grapes, or how many KINDS of grapes?

There are three main types of grapes used in champagne: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Other kinds may be used as well, and they may be blended, but those are the primary varieties. There are seven varietals officially allowed; the three already mentioned, and Arbanne, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris. Before 2010, some other varieties were also allowed... notably Pinot de Juillet and Pinot Rose.

This applies to the official protected designation "champagne" which, in addition, must come from a very specific region in France. Some countries don't recognize this, and either allow "champagne" to be used as a general term for all sparkling wine or have their own rules for determining what can be called "champagne". The US generally, for example, has its own rules and allows some domestic wines to be referred to as "champagne".

If you're wondering how many grapes... the general rule is that roughly 20 pounds of grapes make roughly one gallon of wine. The actual number of grapes will, of course, vary.
