シャンパン

しゃんぱん

noun

champagne

1. champagne

Sparkling wine, most strictly the kind produced in the Champagne region of France. In everyday Japanese it is often extended loosely to other sparkling wines, though connoisseurs distinguish them as スパークリングワイン.

冷(ひ)えたシャンパンをグラスに注(そそ)いだ。

記念日(きねんび)のディナーに合(あ)わせて、高級(こうきゅう)なシャンパンを一本(いっぽん)用意(ようい)した。

To go with the anniversary dinner, I prepared a bottle of high-end champagne.

From French "champagne" via the older borrowing route, not English. Strictly refers to sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France, but the term is often used loosely in everyday Japanese for sparkling wines in general.
