We\u2019ve all been there. You find yourself at an art opening, an office holiday party, and or even wedding reception. Someone offers you a glass and asks if you\u2019d like some Champagne. You say yes <\/em>of course, and it\u2019s delightful. Festive, fresh and bright. It\u2019s a sparkling wine after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You like it so much, you glimpse the bottle on your way out or ask the host to show it to you. Lo and behold, the word Champagne <\/em>is nowhere in sight. Instead, it\u2019s Cava<\/em>, Cremant<\/em>, or Prosecco<\/em>. Possibly a Vin<\/em>o Spumante<\/em> or a Sekt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What did you just drink?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is Prosecco Champagne? Is Cava Champagne? The world of wine is overwhelming as it is, and now we\u2019re adding bubbles to the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
