A carbonated beverage is a type of sparkling beverage, but a sparkling beverage is not necessarily carbonated. Carbonation is the result of adding compressed carbon dioxide to a drink to achieve this effect. Many Alcoholic Beverages such as beer and sparkling wine produce carbon dioxide bubbles as part of the natural fermentation process. Even though the bubbles in alcohol are CO2, it is not technically "carbonated" because the CO2 was not added artificially as it is with soda drinks.
