What’s the difference between champagne, cava and prosecco?
Even though they are all types of sparkling wine, each is very different when it comes to taste and how it’s made.
Champagne
Champagne is a French sparkling wine. The term 'Champagne' can be used as a generic term for sparkling wine, but in the EU and some countries it is illegal to label any product Champagne unless it came from the Champagne wine region of France and is produced under the rules of the appellation.
Cava
Cava is a sparkling wine of Denominación de Origen status from Spain. It may be white or rosé - which has become a popular option over the years. The Macabeo, Parellada and Xarello are the most popular and traditional grape varieties for producing cava.
Prosecco
Prosecco is an Italian DOC or DOCG white wine produced in a large area spanning nine provinces in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions, and named after the village of Prosecco. It is made from the Prosecco grape but denomination rules allow up to 15% of the wine to be other permitted varieties.
