Blanc de blanc sparkling wines are made exclusively from white grapes, typically Chardonnay, while brut sparkling wines can be made from a blend of white and red grapes. Blanc de blancs tend to be lighter and more delicate in flavor, with notes of citrus and green apple, while brut wines are drier and more robust, with a broader range of flavors.
Spumante and brut sparkling wines differ in their sweetness levels. Spumante is sweeter, while brut is drier. This is due to the amount of residual sugar in the wine.
The main differences between brut and spumante sparkling wines are their sweetness levels. Brut sparkling wines are dry, with very little residual sugar, while spumante sparkling wines can range from dry to sweet, with varying levels of sweetness.

So to answer your question, the difference between Indian sparkling wine and Champagne is where the sparkling wine was made.
