Wine is served in Churches as a representation or transubstantiation of The Body of Christ during the Holy Communion and many of the wineries in the Americas were founded by Christian Religious Orders. Historically, Communion wines are red wines for symbolic reasons.

== Champagne ==
Sparkling wines, generally known as [[Champagne]] are produced worldwide but only wines produced in the Champagne region of North Eastern France are permitted to bear the name. Some excellent sparkling wines are produced in [[Australia]] and [[California]] but are not permitted to be sold under the name "champagne". This has had the effect of making excellent "champagne" type wines available at far less cost than the French varieties and further diversifying the market.
