Sparkling wines have been produced in Central and Eastern Europe since the early 19th-century. "Champagne" was further popularised in the region, late in the century, when <a href="/wiki/J%C3%B3zsef_T%C3%B6rley" title="József Törley">József Törley</a> started production in Hungary using French methods, learned as an apprentice in <a href="/wiki/Reims" title="Reims">Reims</a>. <a href="/wiki/T%C3%B6rley" title="Törley">Törley</a> has since become one of the largest European producers of sparkling wine.
