Dom Pérignon is a famous and expensive champagne produced by Moët et Chandon.
It is named after Dom Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who allegedly discovered the champagne method for making sparkling wines. Documentary evidence now suggests that a fizzy or sparkling wine was first made in England at least several decades before it was produced in France.

Dom Perignon is the prestige cuvée of the giant Moët et Chandon Champagne house. It is named after the famous monk, who was the most important early influence in the development of Champagne into the sparkling wine we know today. It was not the first Champagne to use his name, as early in the last century small proprietaire-recoltants (farmer-growers) at Hautvillers, employed it for their wine. Unfortunately for them they did not register the name, Dom Perignon, as a trademark.
Sometime around the late 1920's, Champagne Moët et Chandon adopted his name for their new luxury or prestige cuvée of Champagne. Helped in part by Hollywood glamour, this extremely well marketed brand has developed a widespread reputation in countries across the globe. In most vintages it has proved to be considerably above average in quality and is in huge demand. Its 1990 vintage is generally admired as an exceptional Champagne.

It's like expensive jeans. They are basically the same, but just cost more. It might taste a little bit better, but I'd rather just get a cheaper one and have more cash left over to spend on scotch.
