>Otherwise it's sparkling white wine. Americans of course don't recognize the convention, so it becomes that thing of calling all of their sparkling white "champagne", even though by definition they're not.
You're not so factual. Everyone who knows just a little bit about wine recognizes the convention _as a marketing tool_ that keeps a price control, not just quality control. It is simply economics, and to maintain that in just a manner of speaking versus actual labelling of bottles is a pedantic level of autism.
People before and after the constantly overreaching "rules" of this Champagne region of France will refer to something in made in the exact way as a blanket category of Champagne, but everything else as sparkling wine, cava, prosecco or whatever other distinctive style it might be also.

It has nothing to do with being American.
