Regarding this Ringerikspotet or the Champagne name I know better, these are labels of guarantee regarding geographic origin and respect of particular production processes. So no Champagne outside the geographic Champagne but there are similar wines, like crémant[1]: mostly made like champagne but only called differently. (Also less pricey ;)) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkling_wine#Cr%C3%A9mant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkling_wine#Cr%C3%A9mant
