I’d rather have a Cava than a Prosecco!! Just bought some less expensive Champagne 🍾 at the store yesterday and have them in the wine fridge to try some day!!
While prosecco generally isn't very interesting, though cheap, Italy has something way more sophisticated to offer. And that is Franciacorta. What a wine. Forget about Cava, Creman and other Sekt wines, you can legitemately compare Franciacorta directly to Champagne and the outcome isn't always easily predictible. But it is also quite expensive, at times even more expensive then a champagne from the same league. So I usually prefer spending my eurocents on the latter.
Hi there, just stumbled upon your vids. Enjoyed your clear & succinct explanation of wines , & their nuances & their historical back stories. However, in this particular episode you omitted to mention English sparking wines that are increasingly thought superior to modern appellations of champagne. Hence, champagne producers are now purchasing land in southern England.
Christmas has just got better
Nice explanation of what each of the three varietals bring to the mix
Thanks for watching! Happy holidays, Nick.
Very educational; as someone who does not know a lot about alcohol in general, I find these videos quite useful.
Thank you for watching, Daniella! Come check out our selection of wines at wtso.com and let us know if you have any questions.
I'm a whiskey drinker, which champagne would suit me best?

Thanks for the comment! We're actually covering an English Sparkling wine in our next video, so stay tuned for that; it's a great wine!
Trader Joe's used to sell a nice bottle of German sekt at a low price.
Hi everyone! What's your favorite Sparkling wine? Is there one I didn't mention here? Let me know in the comments.
