Dom Pierre Pérignon is that monk. Interestingly enough, it was the English, not the French who invented the sparkling drink. In fact,there is documentary evidence that sparkling wine was first intentionally produced by English scientist and physician Christopher Merret. Also contrary to popular belie, he was not blind.

Although the French monk Dom Perignon (1638-1715) did not invent champagne, it is true he developed many advances in the production of this beverage, including holding the cork in place with a wire collar to withstand the fermentation pressure. In France, the first sparkling champagne was created accidentally; its pressure led it to be called "the devil's wine" (le vin du diable) as bottles exploded or the cork jolted away. Even when it was deliberately produced as a sparkling wine, champagne was for a very long time made by the méthode rurale, where the wine was bottled before the only fermentation had finished.
