Like notanan2 I love champagne but it’s a rare treat! In Spain I drink cava, which is so cheap over there (obvs), as it is made in the same way as champagne i.e. secondary fermentation in the bottle.
I’d never buy Prosecco as it is just cheap wine fermented in a huge vat but I would never comment if someone served it to me.
It is difficult to write this without sounding pretentious (!). But having spent a camping holiday in the area (north east Italy) - the good Prosecco from the producers is terrific! I also recommend it for a holiday, especially if you are driving and can stock up.
As in every other type of alcoholic drink, including champagne, there’s a vast difference between good Prosecco and bad Prosecco. Simple as that really.
I'm fussy about ordinary wine but when it comes to fizz they all taste the same to me. I can only drink a small glass as fizzy drinks give me indigestion. Last year I drunk 3 glasses of Prosecco (over a few hours) and was kept awake all night so vowed not to drink it again.
Don't like fizz of any sort but have to conduct wine tastings from time to time. I can usually guess which customers are going to ask to compare the proseccos. That's not a compliment!
Well thank you for that Esspee I can now add mindless airhead to the list of names I have been called by GN members. The list goes on. I won't start a list of names for some posters, it may offend?
