For comparison: The sparkling wine usually only has a pressure of 1 to a maximum of 2.5 bar. A product after the first and second fermentation process is called sparkling wine.

Still wine does not contain any or hardly any noticeable amounts of carbonic acid. This mostly evaporates during the fermentation process.
Sparkling wine is slightly foaming and is usually served on social occasions such as a casual barbecue party. Champagne, on the other hand, is often enjoyed on special celebrations such as birthdays, weddings or other important events.
Sparkling wine is also often used to make desserts such as creams, sorbets or mousse.
