I found a very good discussion here on 750 ml crown cap bottles:

One person said the European champagne bottles take a different size
cap, but that the American sparkling wine bottle take regular crown
caps. Another recommended taking a regular crown cap with you when you
shop for such bottles to make sure they take the normal crown cap and
not a special size one.
