The difference between champagne and sparkling wine is all in where the wine is made. If it is made in an area in France known as Champagne then it can be called champagne. If not it is just sparkling wine.

....

Technically, sparkling wine is any bubbly wine that has been made by a method different to the traditional or 'champenoise' method. Please read my personal views on this issue on the discussion page.

Answer

SPARKLING wine can be called champagne when it is made in the champnagne district in france, otherwise its just "sparkling wine", which is just as good, if you ask me ;-)

Moet Champagne is a region of France, and only wines which come from this region can properly be called Champagne. Similar drinks from around the world should be called sparkling wines.

Champagne and sparkling wine are basically the same thing. sparking wine is wine that has been carbonated and the other one is not wine but carbonated.
