It's not totally correct. An Englishman discovered the recipe of sparkling wine but champagne was born and created in the region of Champagne in France by Dom Perignon (champagne is called Champagne because of the region of production.) It's a protected name, a Champagne produced outside the region of Champagne-Ardenne can not be called Champagne.
To show, what elitaristic idiots this ,Champagner' producers are, an example from my german homeregion. In next Landkreis / Arrondissement there is a producer of fruitdrinks, with and without alcohol, he uses mostly pears and apples, NO wineberries. About 15 years ago , he created a new drink. He noticed, that in bis region a lot of peartrees are, with a pear called ,Champagnerbirne'/ pear from Champagne region. He bought lots of this pears, made pearjuice, and with this pesrjuice he worked in Champagner drink style. After some time this newcreated drink was ready, he bottled it , painted a big pear on the bottles, wrote the german description ,Fruchtschaumwein'/ sparkling wine from fruits on the bottles and added ,Made from Pears of Champagne'. The result: The french Champagner Gangsters called European Union Court and the small german drink producer got troubles. To repeat: The drink was made of pears, on the bottles pears hat been painted, the word Fruchtschaumwein was correctly used. Only the pears once came from Champagne.
It's even more complicated. And it has the French and the British all over it. But it all starts with the Roman empire. The Wikipedia page on the History of Champagne is fascinating.

Every sources I've found about Champagne origins lead to... France. Grapevine were imported by the romans, in the north east of France, that's were they made wine and a derivated version: Champagne. It was centuries later that a French monk made THE Champagne we all know about today. As to the name Champagne, it comes from an old French province, which still existed in region name: "Champagne-Ardennes" which is today called Grand Est. Champagne has also a protected designation of origin so not everyone can make it that's why you can sometimes find "vin pétillant" elsewhere.
True, but... what makes a Champagne is the Method-Champagnoise which as an idea could be an import. The grapes are secondary to a proper fermenting process
Yes, this is often how it is with - facts. It's sometimes certain but often debatable or relating to how you interpret history. Many times a lot of grey zone. So, where it was "invented"? Well...
Sparkling wine was invented in the uk before champagne in France. However it's kind of a trick question. Champagne by definition is not what was invented in the UK, however the methodology of making them is very similar.
Champagne is the region of France the grape comes from. Originally Champagne was a normal white wine then a English wine merchant accidentally created the 'fizz' it was such a revelation in high society that people then demanded it and so the champagne region and growers started to make it on purpose then managed to get protected status thus meaning only fizzy wine made in the Champagne region can be called Champagne

The champagne answer is totally wrong. "Champagne" sparking wine is actually named after the Champagne wine region in France and sparkling wine was first made in this region in the late 1600s. It's therefore obviously impossible for a region of France to have originated in the UK. Yes, "sparkling wine" was apparently first invented in the UK, but that's not the same thing as champagne.

The Champagne answer is incorrect. While England pioneered the development of bubbly wine, Champagne, by definition, can only come the the Champagne region of France. Everything else is just sparkling wine. Similarly, Tequila may only come from the Mexican state that contains the city of Tequila (everything else is a mezcal). Scotch can only come from Scotland; even though the Taketsuru learned how to make it in Scotland and brought the process back to Japan (along with his Scottish wife, Rita) during the Taisho Era, Japanese Whisky [note the spelling] is not Scotch (even though in blind taste tests, many drinking the Yamazaki 12 Year single malt would swear they were drinking a Scotch from Speyside). Bourbon is sort of like this; even though it is associated with the state of Kentucky, it can be made anywhere in the US. It just must be made from at least 51% corn [maize] mash and aged in new, charred oak barrels. Since there is a requirement of new barrels, many Scotch distilleries (maybe Irish Whiskey as well - I am less sure about it) buy these used-once barrels to age their whisky/whiskey in them. If one is interested in a not-Bourbon, try the Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky from Japan. I am not an alcoholic. I swear.

In the U.S. in the '70's we were taught 7 continents, one of them being Australia; the only nation/continent. I guess I was asleep for 25 years because then I started hearing 'Oceania' and I thought they were using terms from George Orwell's '1984'. LOL
The continent name for that region has been Australia in the US (maybe Canada, not sure), but elsewhere it’s been “Australasia”, because Australia isn’t a continent and never has been, but for some reason American schools taught kids about it being Australia despite 95% of the world saying otherwise Then is was changed to Oceania because Australasia is considered outdated, colonial to few I’m a UK 2000s kid and my geography teacher actively told us, you can say Australasia, you can say Oceania, but if you say Australia it’s incorrect because that’s never been a continent, it’s the country
The reason champagne is known for being French is because although it can be made anywhere the grapes have to be grown in a specific region of France, called champagne, for it to be champagne otherwise it’s just sparkling wine.

I was never too sure about Australia being a continent alone or at all, because it wouldn't make sense for Oceania to be another completely separate continent, and I was correct. Australia in itself isn't a continent. And since Antarctica does exist, it is its own continent as we speak.
Champagne is French ! It is THE sparkling wine from the Champagne region, not some random fizzy wine ... Only in other countries Champagne is sometimes used as a generic term for white sparkling wines, regardless of origin. But is it not the same !
All champagne is French. It's named after the region, where it is made, and where it originated. The English scientist Christopher Merrett may have figured out how to deliberately add fizz to wine, including champagne. But that doesn't mean champagne was invented in the United Kingdom. It's critical to understand that champagne always naturally had some fizz. But when exported to England, due to it being transported in wooden barrels that were then left out, it would lose that fizz. That's where Christopher Merrett comes in, as he figured out how to intentionally make wine fizz by adding sugar to it. So champagne was in fact invented in France.
the number of continents is up for debate. There are those who consider America one single continent (I personally don't). There are also those (and that actually makes sense, I kind of agree there), who consider Eurasia one single supercontinent I'd say: North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, Antarctica and Eurasia: 6
i wonder if anyone has noticed the error in the New Zealand flag pinned to the person from New Zealand. The New Zealand flag has red stars in the southern cross constellation on the right side and not white.
The concept that geographers use to define a continental mass can vary according to the criteria that these specialists adopt in each case, which can be physical, cultural, political or historical. The physical definition of greatest spread considers the division into seven continents: Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Asia, Europe and Australia. This model is taught as standard in countries such as China, India, Pakistan and in most English-speaking countries with large populations, which makes it the standard used by more than 45% of the world's population. However, following both cultural and political criteria, education systems in Latin-speaking countries tend to consider Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Antarctica and Oceania as continents.
The oldest recorded mention of sparkling wine or champagne, dates back to Benedictine monks in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire, near Carcassonne in 1531, in France. What sources are you citing that say it originated in the UK?
Champagne come from the Champagne region in France near Reims. So champagne is French. However, where the method was invented is up to debate ... In Champagne, they say that Dom Pérignon invented it. I'm sure that in Spain (where they produce cava) they have another view ;)
It was Englishman David Kirke who invented bungee jumping in 1979, nine years before the first N.Z. bungee jump. You can also argue that Vanuatu invented bungee jumping.
The Champagne part is very misleading, to the point it's wrong. Currrently, it's only "claims", but absolutely not a fact that's accepted. Champagne is it's own protected domain and name, and that includes the varieties of grapes, the land where the grapes are grown, and the exact process of how it's made. Champagne doesn't equal/mean that it's any sparkling wine. You can only call a wine, _Champagne_ , if it's produced in the Champagne region in France, same as how Moscato d'Asti has to be from the actual Asti region in Italy, which is another famous sparkling wine. If it's sparkling and not from Champagne, you'll see "Sparkling Wine", or "Brut", etc., as generic names for it, because there are various varieties of sparkling wine around the world. But why was the answer UK in the video? Well it came from an interview of Pierre Taittinger, who is a famous Champagne producer, that the English accidentally created the first "Champagne", a bit earlier than Dom Perignon, the French monk who have pioneered, developed, and perfected the process of making Champange, and who also has a famous expensive wine named after him. There was a record that the English added sugar and molasses to the wine imported from France so more people can enjoy it, but a lot of this wine were acciddentally left on the docks longer than usual where a 2nd fermentation process enabled the wine to be carbonated, hence creating a sparkling wine, which was back in 1633. The process is different from Dom Perignon's, so it's not Champagne. Hence, it's currently only discussed as "claims", and not factual. So tldr, there was a claim that the English may have accidentally invented a type of sparkling wine a few years earlier than Dom Perignon(the pioneer of Champagne making), but the actual _Champagne_ , with it having it's own unique process, grapes, and domain, was invented in France, NOT the UK. 😉
@@thespankmyfrank Yes, sparkling wine is just a generic name and can come from anywhere, which is fine. But Champagne is, and only is, French, from Champagne, France 🇫🇷
Oh wow, how is the uk closer to France when Germany literally shares a border 😂 and also why did 2 of them choose New Zealand for the speed camera when it wasn’t even an option 🤦♂️
La champaña es francesa, se le atribuye a un monje benedictino de la Abadía de Hautvillers fue el creador de la champaña, Dom Pierre Perignon y era el encargado de custodiar el sótano de la abadía, lugar donde se guardaba la producción de vino. La champaña surgió cuando Perignon elaboró vino blanco a partir de uvas tintas
I'm in shock now. Back in the day we were taught that there are only 6 continents...so now I googled it and since then North- and South-America are counts as two separate continents... whooo... it's like Pluto getting out of planets then back but as a dwarf planet.
Champagne is 100% French. The sparkling wine was first produced in the French region after which it was named. Any relation to the UK is a made-up story.
I feel insulted by the fact they don't acknowledged France as one of the best wine making countries. First, 7/12 of the most cultivated varieties are from France (Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Syrah, Merlot, Carignan, Cabernet sauvignon) We have a lot of well recognised wines, like Cotes du Rhone, Riesling (yes it comes from Germany but also from France in Alsace), Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Chablis, Gewurztraminer, Silvaner, Mâcon, Pinot gris, Muscat, Pouilly-Vinzelles, etc...)
Yeah but they didn't say "one of the best countries", they said "the best in this particular year. And tbh it makes plenty of sense because China is an up and coming wine market with lots of unique terroir that you could never find elsewhere. These kinds of competitions love whatever's new and innovative.
@@henry1050 Yeah I understand that! I'm just talking abt the fact that they weren't even considering France being the best in a year, I'm not talking abt the competition but abt the reaction of the people in the video!
Un point de vue anglo-saxon avec des participantes totalement anglo-saxonnes. Le résultat est biaisé Ca s'explique :p LOool un peu d'humour avec une pointe de vérité ;) "Insulted" c'est le bon mot mdr
Champagne pronunciation is most commonly as: /SHAM-pein/ in English, and in French it is rendered close to /SHOM-pan-je/ or /SHOM-pan/, when using English phonetic spelling.
i don't mean to roast their English, but who wrote down the questions? the tenses are all over the place. Also, the question is "Who invented Champagne? Champagne is a protected designation restricted to the French region of the same name, i.o.w. only sparkling wine from that particular region can legally be labelled as champagne. this does not mean the French invented "sparkling wine". But it stands to reason that phrasing the question by using the word "champagne" would automatically refer to the sparkling wine produced in that region. The British introduced the rest of the world to "sparkling wine", but the French capitalized on branding it and popularizing it as "Champagne".
The Champagne question is just outrageous for french people. Please do your research, and look for who Dom Pérignon is, and most importantly, in which country is located the region called Champagne (which is the name the drink is called after). If champagne is located in the UK, please ring people that made that map to correct it. ;)
@@larsradtke4097The drink "Champagne" has been named after the region where it has been "created/invented/elaborated". No more, no less. Nowadays, that appellation is protected in France. For french people, it makes sense to call a drink Champagne if the grapes used in the elaboration of that drink are from that region. Note that in Italy you have also sparkling (spumante) white wines as Prosecco, and in no way they call it Champagne because the grapes are not from the Champagne region. (Which really make sense) Perhaps Christopher Merret was the one created the process of creation, then Dom Pérignon used it later on, I do not question that. But I think through that type of reasoning, we could say actually, that greeks invented Champagne. Because technically, the process to create Champagne is the same process of making white wine, which is a method developed by people in Asia/Middle east. And which originated from romans who copied the greeks and their black wine. We could also say that Cheddar has been invented by the guys who invented cheese. :) But if it is called Cheddar, I think it is particular from that town and people appreciate it that way. Now the word Cheddar is not protected and can be labelled on any cheese.
@@larsradtke4097 Hmmm yes and no. :D It is still the name of the region in France where Champagnes are produced. Champagne wine is protected by an european regulation called Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Maybe in some countries outside of Europe, the noun champagne is synonymous of sparklng wine. But not in Europe.
That Decanter Wine awards question is a bit of a curly one - there are dozens of awards handed out at that event and China, the US and France all won multiple awards, as did Australia and New Zealand. Was this referring to which country won the MOST awards?...
No it was referring to the country who won the 2021 version of one of the thousands of wine competitions that exist in the world ☺. It basically means nothing about the quality of the wine produced in china
@@alexandraapolline8434 but there isnt just one award handed out at that competition - there are several, for different categories. How do they determine who 'won'?...
The continents question is pointless. There is no definitive answer as "continent" is an arbitrary description. There are between 3 and up to 8 or 9 depending on what definition you use for the word continent.

In Spanish-speaking countries (I'm from Argentina) we learn that the Americas is just one continent, and it has three regions (North, Central / Caribbean, and South). So, to us, continents are: the Americas (we just call it America), Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica.

With this minimal format, viewers are just watching people struggle to answer and then react to the answer but not getting anything more from it. It would be fun to add more information like how Champagne was made in the UK and not France like how the majority of people thought or who invented the speed gun technology, etc. They already did the research when they made the questions, they could have just shared it with us.

The speed camera was a Dutch invention. A racing driver wanted to measure his cornering speed to improve his racing. It's probably one of the most hated inventions today, but giving people speeding tickets wasn't the intended use.
As a French person, more precisely born and raised in Champagne (the region) the miniature nearly gave me a heart attack 😂😭

1:41 South Africa uses ZA due to the fact that Saudia Arabia uses SA so in order to avoid the confusion South Africa went with ZA and not SA. Suid-Afrika is the standard spelling in Afrikaans.
What about RSA?
In the U.S. in the '70's we were taught 7 continents, one of them being Australia; the only nation/continent. I guess I was asleep for 25 years because then I started hearing 'Oceania' and I thought they were using terms from George Orwell's '1984'. LOL
The continent name for that region has been Australia in the US (maybe Canada, not sure), but elsewhere it’s been “Australasia”, because Australia isn’t a continent and never has been, but for some reason American schools taught kids about it being Australia despite 95% of the world saying otherwise
Then is was changed to Oceania because Australasia is considered outdated, colonial to few
I’m a UK 2000s kid and my geography teacher actively told us, you can say Australasia, you can say Oceania, but if you say Australia it’s incorrect because that’s never been a continent, it’s the country
7 continents including Australia. Oceania is not a continent.
Some of these were kinda wrong but it was still enjoyable
The reason champagne is known for being French is because although it can be made anywhere the grapes have to be grown in a specific region of France, called champagne, for it to be champagne otherwise it’s just sparkling wine.
I love when the subtitles are completely off from what the person is saying 😂 I mean no disrespect in that btw, must be SO hard for a non-native to understand some things and they do a great job most of the time! My favourite this video was 'Nuclear' going to 'New Caledonia'
I've never seen "ZA" used for South Africa. Every time I see sports or other instances where abbreviations are used for countries, I only have ever seen "RSA" for "Republic of South Africa"
The country code hasn't changed but South Africa has become a republic. I assume you've only seen sports after that event (or noticed at least)
@@majpanik I mean I guess so. But I’ve seen RSA for as long as I can remember. I’m 27 and pretty sure I remember seeing it at the 2008 Olympics. Can’t really remember anything further back than that really
@@Blackhwk13 well I believe they only became a republic in 1994 so that'll probably be why 👍
@@majpanik gotcha. I was born that year so it makes sense that I’ve only seen RSA all my life
@@Blackhwk13 They're incorrect, South Africa became a republic in 1961 by referendum, because of the Commonwealth condemning Apartheid. The ZA country code dates back to when Dutch was South Africa's second official language, before it was replaced by Afrikaans (which had been considered a low class dialect of Dutch, sometimes called Kitchen Dutch). The country code is the two letter abbreviation now used for internet addresses. It is different from the 3-letter codes used in sports.
I was never too sure about Australia being a continent alone or at all, because it wouldn't make sense for Oceania to be another completely separate continent, and I was correct. Australia in itself isn't a continent. And since Antarctica does exist, it is its own continent as we speak.
Australia is a island continent so your confusing is understandable. But it is definitely a continent.
4:00 Champagne is a sparkling wine originated and produced in the Champagne wine region of France under the rules of the appellation
No. It was created in UK.
It depends how you define a continent.
Champagne is French ! It is THE sparkling wine from the Champagne region, not some random fizzy wine ... Only in other countries Champagne is sometimes used as a generic term for white sparkling wines, regardless of origin. But is it not the same !
All champagne is French. It's named after the region, where it is made, and where it originated.
The English scientist Christopher Merrett may have figured out how to deliberately add fizz to wine, including champagne. But that doesn't mean champagne was invented in the United Kingdom.
It's critical to understand that champagne always naturally had some fizz. But when exported to England, due to it being transported in wooden barrels that were then left out, it would lose that fizz. That's where Christopher Merrett comes in, as he figured out how to intentionally make wine fizz by adding sugar to it. So champagne was in fact invented in France.
Bunjy Jumping comes from Vanuatu Pentacost island jumping from heights with vines
Jakob has the most Afrikaans accent I've ever heard (from a South African)
the number of continents is up for debate. There are those who consider America one single continent (I personally don't). There are also those (and that actually makes sense, I kind of agree there), who consider Eurasia one single supercontinent
I'd say: North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, Antarctica and Eurasia: 6
i wonder if anyone has noticed the error in the New Zealand flag pinned to the person from New Zealand. The New Zealand flag has red stars in the southern cross constellation on the right side and not white.
The concept that geographers use to define a continental mass can vary according to the criteria that these specialists adopt in each case, which can be physical, cultural, political or historical.
The physical definition of greatest spread considers the division into seven continents: Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Asia, Europe and Australia. This model is taught as standard in countries such as China, India, Pakistan and in most English-speaking countries with large populations, which makes it the standard used by more than 45% of the world's population.
However, following both cultural and political criteria, education systems in Latin-speaking countries tend to consider Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Antarctica and Oceania as continents.
As someone from Reims, Champagne Ardennes, people proudly defending the origins of Champagne in the comments warms my heart!
No
Bungy jumping is a copy of a pacific island tradition with vines and palm trees.
The oldest recorded mention of sparkling wine or champagne, dates back to Benedictine monks in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire, near Carcassonne in 1531, in France. What sources are you citing that say it originated in the UK?
I'm in Aus and never heard of bluebelt. Just Googled it and it only shows a water runoff system in New York.
Champagne come from the Champagne region in France near Reims. So champagne is French. However, where the method was invented is up to debate ... In Champagne, they say that Dom Pérignon invented it. I'm sure that in Spain (where they produce cava) they have another view ;)
It was Englishman David Kirke who invented bungee jumping in 1979, nine years before the first N.Z. bungee jump. You can also argue that Vanuatu invented bungee jumping.
Google bought the Australian map company 2Technologies. they didn't ask for it to be made but saw what 2 technologies had created as an opportunity.
how do you mess up the champagne question. to be considered champagne it must be made in a certain region in France.
The Champagne part is very misleading, to the point it's wrong. Currrently, it's only "claims", but absolutely not a fact that's accepted.
Champagne is it's own protected domain and name, and that includes the varieties of grapes, the land where the grapes are grown, and the exact process of how it's made. Champagne doesn't equal/mean that it's any sparkling wine. You can only call a wine, _Champagne_ , if it's produced in the Champagne region in France, same as how Moscato d'Asti has to be from the actual Asti region in Italy, which is another famous sparkling wine. If it's sparkling and not from Champagne, you'll see "Sparkling Wine", or "Brut", etc., as generic names for it, because there are various varieties of sparkling wine around the world.
But why was the answer UK in the video? Well it came from an interview of Pierre Taittinger, who is a famous Champagne producer, that the English accidentally created the first "Champagne", a bit earlier than Dom Perignon, the French monk who have pioneered, developed, and perfected the process of making Champange, and who also has a famous expensive wine named after him. There was a record that the English added sugar and molasses to the wine imported from France so more people can enjoy it, but a lot of this wine were acciddentally left on the docks longer than usual where a 2nd fermentation process enabled the wine to be carbonated, hence creating a sparkling wine, which was back in 1633. The process is different from Dom Perignon's, so it's not Champagne. Hence, it's currently only discussed as "claims", and not factual.
So tldr, there was a claim that the English may have accidentally invented a type of sparkling wine a few years earlier than Dom Perignon(the pioneer of Champagne making), but the actual _Champagne_ , with it having it's own unique process, grapes, and domain, was invented in France, NOT the UK. 😉

La champaña es francesa, se le atribuye a un monje benedictino de la Abadía de Hautvillers fue el creador de la champaña, Dom Pierre Perignon y era el encargado de custodiar el sótano de la abadía, lugar donde se guardaba la producción de vino. La champaña surgió cuando Perignon elaboró vino blanco a partir de uvas tintas
In a word, No.
Hard Job you got there Jacob.
Champagne was invented in the champagne region of France
I enjoyed this - the questions were not the typical ones.
I got all of them right! I've never felt so smart lmao
Except the champagne question was wrong because it was invented in France.
Champagne is from France! From the Champagne region! Dios mío, pero qué brutos!
I'm in shock now. Back in the day we were taught that there are only 6 continents...so now I googled it and since then North- and South-America are counts as two separate continents... whooo... it's like Pluto getting out of planets then back but as a dwarf planet.
"Does China make wine? I guess they make everything " lol
The number of continents depends on what you were taught. At school I was taught 5 continents, America was a continent.
Well the Bungee Jump answer was wrong. The first bungee jump was in Bristol off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in April 1979

Speaking as an Australian, I deeply care about the Great Barrier Reef.
Champagne is 100% French. The sparkling wine was first produced in the French region after which it was named. Any relation to the UK is a made-up story.
Champagne its a walloon drink from Marne, High Marne borderline with Belgium. Nothing related with UK....🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
I feel insulted by the fact they don't acknowledged France as one of the best wine making countries.
First, 7/12 of the most cultivated varieties are from France (Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Syrah, Merlot, Carignan, Cabernet sauvignon)
We have a lot of well recognised wines, like Cotes du Rhone, Riesling (yes it comes from Germany but also from France in Alsace), Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Chablis, Gewurztraminer, Silvaner, Mâcon, Pinot gris, Muscat, Pouilly-Vinzelles, etc...)
Insulted is quite a strong word lmao
Yeah but they didn't say "one of the best countries", they said "the best in this particular year. And tbh it makes plenty of sense because China is an up and coming wine market with lots of unique terroir that you could never find elsewhere. These kinds of competitions love whatever's new and innovative.
@@henry1050 Yeah I understand that! I'm just talking abt the fact that they weren't even considering France being the best in a year, I'm not talking abt the competition but abt the reaction of the people in the video!

"Insulted" c'est le bon mot mdr

Champagne pronunciation is most commonly as: /SHAM-pein/ in English, and in French it is rendered close to /SHOM-pan-je/ or /SHOM-pan/, when using English phonetic spelling.
Yeah because Champagne is in France x)
when i worked in China in the mid 2000's I was surprised at the number of Australian wine makers were working there.
i don't mean to roast their English, but who wrote down the questions? the tenses are all over the place. Also, the question is "Who invented Champagne? Champagne is a protected designation restricted to the French region of the same name, i.o.w. only sparkling wine from that particular region can legally be labelled as champagne. this does not mean the French invented "sparkling wine". But it stands to reason that phrasing the question by using the word "champagne" would automatically refer to the sparkling wine produced in that region. The British introduced the rest of the world to "sparkling wine", but the French capitalized on branding it and popularizing it as "Champagne".
The Champagne question is just outrageous for french people. Please do your research, and look for who Dom Pérignon is, and most importantly, in which country is located the region called Champagne (which is the name the drink is called after). If champagne is located in the UK, please ring people that made that map to correct it. ;)
Just looked it up and Dom Perignon apparently enhanced a method developed by Christopher Merret 6 years earlier in the UK.
China makes iPhones, but they didn't invent them.
@@larsradtke4097The drink "Champagne" has been named after the region where it has been "created/invented/elaborated". No more, no less. Nowadays, that appellation is protected in France. For french people, it makes sense to call a drink Champagne if the grapes used in the elaboration of that drink are from that region. Note that in Italy you have also sparkling (spumante) white wines as Prosecco, and in no way they call it Champagne because the grapes are not from the Champagne region. (Which really make sense)
Perhaps Christopher Merret was the one created the process of creation, then Dom Pérignon used it later on, I do not question that. But I think through that type of reasoning, we could say actually, that greeks invented Champagne. Because technically, the process to create Champagne is the same process of making white wine, which is a method developed by people in Asia/Middle east. And which originated from romans who copied the greeks and their black wine.
We could also say that Cheddar has been invented by the guys who invented cheese. :) But if it is called Cheddar, I think it is particular from that town and people appreciate it that way. Now the word Cheddar is not protected and can be labelled on any cheese.
@@lber7173 champagner is a brand name.

@@larsradtke4097 Hmmm yes and no. :D It is still the name of the region in France where Champagnes are produced. Champagne wine is protected by an european regulation called Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Maybe in some countries outside of Europe, the noun champagne is synonymous of sparklng wine. But not in Europe.

What language were these questions Google translated from?
That Decanter Wine awards question is a bit of a curly one - there are dozens of awards handed out at that event and
China, the US and France all won multiple awards, as did Australia and New Zealand. Was this referring to which country won the MOST awards?...
No it was referring to the country who won the 2021 version of one of the thousands of wine competitions that exist in the world ☺. It basically means nothing about the quality of the wine produced in china
@@alexandraapolline8434 but there isnt just one award handed out at that competition - there are several, for different categories. How do they determine who 'won'?...
@@chriskelly9476 I think the goal of the directors (the guys who chose this question) was to pick the award that would surprise the viewer the most
The continents question is pointless. There is no definitive answer as "continent" is an arbitrary description. There are between 3 and up to 8 or 9 depending on what definition you use for the word continent.
Hello, everyone! It’s Emma here! Once again it was so much fun to be with Lauren 🇬🇧, Odessa 🇳🇿, Beth 🇦🇺, and Jakob 🇿🇦! I definitely learned a lot and now I know I have to try to keep up with general knowledge since I am clearly lacking a lot 😂
I know all over the world we have different education systems or representations of things such as world maps. I’m curious about the continents question for instance. I was taught in the USA that there are 7- how was it explained in your country? Let me know in the comments!
Good video , Emma, and yes , in my country are 6 continents 😁
In Spanish-speaking countries (I'm from Argentina) we learn that the Americas is just one continent, and it has three regions (North, Central / Caribbean, and South). So, to us, continents are: the Americas (we just call it America), Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica.

An Australian man also invented WiFi too. We Aussies are smarter and worldly-wise people.
The concept of this video was fun but it could have been better.
I mean, wouldn't it have been better if it was also informative? Like after the answer was revealed, trivia about it is displayed (at the very least). It would be entertaining and also informative. With this minimal format, viewers are just watching people struggle to answer and then react to the answer but not getting anything more from it. It would be fun to add more information like how Champagne was made in the UK and not France like how the majority of people thought or who invented the speed gun technology, etc. They already did the research when they made the questions, they could have just shared it with us.
Wait.. Champagne is totally spies (wait no) it's totally french I swear xD

That champagne is from the UK is not correct. It was only suggested that the the brits might have invented it, or the origin of it, accidentally based on some records they have.
