Not Everything Bubbly Is Considered Champagne

When it comes time to toast at midnight, make sure you know what’s in your cup!

Champagne is a tricky thing. Just because it’s fizzy and it’s yellow does not necessarily mean you’re guzzling Cristal. In fact, unless you’re sharing a booth with P-Diddy in Vegas, odds are that you’re not not.

With New Years Eve right around the corner, we figured we’d break the bubbly down for you.

1.Champagne

Technically, champagne can only be wine that was made in Champagne, France. Usually the most expensive of all of the bubbly variety. However, even after that whole Treaty of Versailles hullabaloo, some American winery’s claim to be making and bottling real champagne, too.

2.Prosecco

A sweet tasting, sparkling wine that is made and bottled in Italy, primarily in the Veneto region. Prices can range, however there are few Procesco's considered to be as fine as nice champagne.

3. Cava

A Spanish take on Prosecco, Cava is made in Spain and is named for the cellars where it is made and often stored. Not always as sweet as Prosecco, the price of Cava ranges drastically depending on the year in which it was made.

4. Sparkling Wine

A term often used to describe an American wine that’s been slightly carbonated. It is often sweet to the taste, and inexpensive to buy.
