Champagne, Prosecco or Sparkling Wine: What Sets Them Apart?

Champagne and sparkling wine are closely related, but they are not the same. All Champagne is sparkling wine, but only wine made in France’s Champagne region can legally be called Champagne. Origin and production make the biggest difference. Champagne is traditionally made with a second fermentation in the bottle, giving it a more complex character. Prosecco comes from Italy and is commonly made using the tank method, while Cava is produced in Spain. Champagne often has citrus, green apple, toasted bread and nutty notes. Other sparkling wines may taste fruitier or more floral. Your best choice depends on your taste, the occasion and your budget. Would you choose Champagne for a milestone celebration, or go for Prosecco or another sparkling wine for a casual gathering?
