Quite hilarious but I think this is one of my fav videos on Wines Education!😃 And this scenario happens almost EVERYDAY! Champagne and Prosecco are both Sparkling wines but they are different. And the main differences lie in: -the grapes used to make them - the regions the grapes are from - the production method. Watch the video below to understand the differences and next time don’t ask for a Champagne when you actually want a Prosecco!😊 Moët & Chandon Marco Fantinel #sparklingwines #champagne #prosecco #sommelier

THE BEST CHAMPAGNE PRODUCERS British produce the best wine publications, e.g Decanter. Great Britain is one of the most enthusiastic champagne consumer of the world after the USA. The proximity of the United Kingdom to France and history contribute to the popularity of wine among other beverages. British have a long history with alcohol and still continue to indulge although the government has gradually increased taxes to discourage consumption. Drinks International, a widely read and influential magazine recently published a list of the best champagne producers. Champagne still outsells all other sparkling wine categories closely followed by prosecco from Italy that is much less expensive than champagne. Before the 1917 Revolution the Russian elite used to drink a lot of champagne, and many champagne producers got rich supplying the Russian market. Ontario is now a big player in sparkling consumption and production. Some Ontario sprinkling wines are very impressive in quality, and sell for much less than comparable products. The ere are more 4000 champagne producers in Champagne. Here are the best: Roederer Ayala Charles Heidsieck Heidsieck Monopole Piper Heidsieck Alfred Gratien Dom Perignon Ruinart Lanson Jacquesson Deutz Perrier et Jouet Rare Krug Philliponat Lauent Perrier Veuve Cliquot Veuve Fourney Henriot Bollinger Billecart et Salmon Terlant Lallier Pommery Moet et Chandon Drappier Bruno Paillard Delas Grosset

#newsfromAlicante #trademarks #geographicalindications #caselaw #evocation #invalidity 30/05/2024, R 1454/2022‑5, PriSecco / ‘Prosecco’ "The Boards of Appeal fully endorses the Cancellation Division’s reasoning and conclusion that the contested EUTM ‘PriSecco’ will evoke the PDO ‘Prosecco’ in the mind of the average consumer throughout the EU. Bearing in mind the high visual and aural similarity between the signs and the notable proximity between the wines of the earlier PDO and the non-alcoholic (apple or pear cocktails of the contested EUTM, there is a strong likelihood that, for a substantial part of the European public, when confronted with the sign ‘PriSecco’ for the non-alcoholic (apple or pear) cocktails, the image triggered directly in their mind will be that of the product protected by the PDO ‘Prosecco’, namely wine".

What`s the difference between Champagne and Prosecco? 1.⁠ ⁠Origin: Champagne hails from France's Champagne region, while Prosecco comes from Italy's Veneto region. 2.⁠ ⁠Grapes: Champagne uses Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes; Prosecco is made from Glera grapes. 3.⁠ ⁠Production Method: Champagne is made with the traditional method, with second fermentation in the bottle, while Prosecco uses the tank method. 4.⁠ ⁠Taste: Champagne offers complex flavors of brioche and almond, while Prosecco is light, fruity, and floral. 5.⁠ ⁠Price: Champagne tends to be pricier due to its production and aging, while Prosecco is more budget-friendly. 🥂 #WineLovers #ChampagneVsProsecco #SparklingWine #melbournefood

When it comes to celebrating special occasions, Champagne is often the drink of choice, but its high cost can be prohibitive. For those looking to enjoy the sparkle without breaking the bank, sparkling wine serves as a budget-friendly alternative. While true Champagne must originate from the Champagne region of France, many refer to all sparkling wines as Champagne, even though they may come from different regions around the world. Despite this technicality, many sparkling wines offer similar flavor profiles and the same festive bubbles. In an effort to find the best affordable "Champagne," the author sampled 12 popular and widely available sparkling wines that are easier on the wallet. These selections, although not true Champagnes, are meant to provide the same celebratory experience at a fraction of the cost. The wines were ranked based on their taste, bubble quality, and overall value, providing a helpful guide for those who want to enjoy a sparkling wine that feels special without spending too much. The rankings give readers an idea of which sparkling wines offer the best balance of flavor and price, making it easier to choose a bottle for any festive occasion. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, anniversary, or just enjoying a casual get-together, these budget-friendly sparkling wines can help make any moment feel a bit more special.

My takes on this article (with the important premise that I continue to think that Champagne is the greatest wine denomination in the world): 1. Champagne keeps getting more expensive and is slowly pushing itself into a very small market segment. 2. Perhaps I'm shortsided, but I really don't understand how the Arabian Peninsula can be the knight in shining armour for luxury sparkling wines 3. New varietals in Champagne?- WOW! I really wish them success- we will know in 20 years. https://lnkd.in/d8pZ5rzC

Drinks Business announces the winners of the 2024 NV Champagne Masters. “Non-vintage Champagnes are those that employ wines from across a range of years, as opposed to vintage expressions, that use wines from a single harvest.” A dozen masters of wine and master sommeliers judged the entries blind at a United Kingdom venue, hence the prince in Pounds Sterling (roughly $1.25). Judges awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze medals to the top wines. Two received the highest accolade of Master: NV Champagne Vielle France (40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier), 12.5% alc., 8 grams/liter residual sugar, retail price £30.00; Champagne Collery (80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay), 12.0% alc., 7g/l RS, retail price: £50.00.
