It is generally accepted that the Benedictine Monk Dom Perignon 'invented' champagne. However, the English scientist and physician Christopher Merret documented the addition of sugar to finish wine and create a second fermentation years before. Dom Perignon certainly improved the production of champagne. The use of Christopher Merrit's process, called méthode champenoise began in the 19th century, 200 years after he documented the process.
