Loooool have fun with your shitty wine. Besides you can't even have your own champagne as it's location trademarked.

It’s a pretty outdated view that US wine (primarily from California, Oregon, Washington) is of lesser quality of that of Europe. True, the big flagship wines -the first growth Bordeaux and premier cru Burgundy and Champagne, are rarely matched. But a large majority of American wine is on par with most European wine.

Now, of course I do not support tariffs on US imports of wine. But pushing back on the quality comment.

But no matter how good it is, it will never be called champagne

I’ll grant you that good champagne is better than great domestic sparkling.

But “no matter how good it is?” I don’t care what something is called; there is good domestic sparkling, and there is bad champagne. I’d rather drink the “good “” without the label.

Interesting aside. Because the senate never recognized the article in The Treaty of Versailles that prohibited use of Champagne, there are producers on the US grandfathered into being able to, technically, use the term.
