“Investigating”  Sparkling Wine

A question often asked – What’s the Difference:

Champagne Vs. Prosecco 

First we have to know what they are individually.

Champagne

Originates in the Champagne region of the northeast part of France/

It is a more complex wine. It is made using three different types

of grapes – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, & Meunier.

Also, you can buy ros’e Champagne

Prosecco

Is a sparkling white wine from the northeastern part of Italy.

It is generally dry, using Glera grapes and can be made still–

tranquilo – or slightly sparkling. It is made by the tank method.

Their is also Cava from Spain and Sparkling from California.

Extra Dry is sweeter than Brut.

Prosecco is wonderful for celebrations of large groups and

excellent for a Mimosa as the price may be less expensive.

A flute is the best glass option, to keep the aromas in the glass.

    Do not swirl sparkling wine and do not fill the glasses full. the                 bubbles will disapear.                                                                             Chill both wines in the fridge before serving, 

We will be talking a lot more about Sparkling Wines,

and ones that are great and in our price range.
