Everyone is different. I don't think there is a "typical" brand though. Korbel, Yellow Tail and Barefoot are popular sparkling wine brands.

There is a difference, however, in sparkling wine and champagne. Champagne grapes are grown in the Champagne region of France and is often a bit more expensive than sparkling wine, which is the same idea as champagne, but the grapes are grown in other regions of the world. Most people cannot taste the difference!

I could be dead wrong on this, but I don't think there's one set kind. There's different kinds, different price ranges.

LittleBear is right, when we purchased our champagne the liquor store owner said that some people choose to buy sparkling wine instead.

There's no normal bottle. Champagne, with a capitol "C," means it's a white sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France. Good French Champagnes include Veuve Clicquot (my favorite is the non-vintage one with the orange-y yellow label, which is usually about $39 or $40 a bottle), Taittinger, and Dom Perignon.... I also LOVE the rose Veuve Clicquot. Mmmm. (And I don't even like wine, in general. I'm a total barbarian.) But there are tons of tasty white sparkling wines that aren't technically the same thing, but can be just as tasty. You could also check out delicious --.delicious! -- - prosecco, which is an italian sparkling wine that's done with a different process from the Champagne process (I think; I'm no expert).  That can be really good and more affordable.
