Yeast is a very interesting little organism - it is neither a plant
nor an animal, but a single-celled fungus. As such, there are several
different species and varieties of yeast and, just like with the
apples you choose to make your cider, each one will make the end
product taste a bit different. The differences come because of the
rate of sugar consumption and carbon dioxide and other waste product
creation, as well as the temperature and pH needed for fermentation.

Champagne Yeast does not necessarily mean it for Champage. It means it was first discovered int the champagne region of france. Will it have different taste, I would say that you will probably not notice it, but it could mean the medium (im assuming wine) may be dryer, sweeter, some yeasts are more tolerant to higher/lower temps, higher/lower alcohol. If a recipe says use Champagne yeast use it, they are not expensive and all the LHBS' here stock a good variety of yeasts.

I'm not an expert on anything, I would assume no as you can clear beer, wine and meads with time and/or chemicals and natural ingredients.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong anyone
