Champagne is nicer - especially if you buy a good one ......
prosecco is cheaper so you can get flying d*unk on good stuff cheaper!
But remember when making Buck's Fizz or tequila sunrises or skrewdrivers a good quality fresh orange juice will make up for you using cheap shite.  |

I prefer prosecco and I think it's more popular now in the uk than champagne.
I am still rather partial to a nice chilled glass of vintage Rosé Veuve Clicquot. |

both massively over rated in my opinion - Prosecco is simply a very successful marketing campaign which the middle classes (largely) fell for hook, line and sinker  |

Crust the top of the glass with brown sugar and put a strawberry in it,,,then it just doesn't matter if it's champers,cava,prosecco or lambrini.
Sparkling wine is supposed to be fun,fun,fun.

How many individuals do you think could tell the difference between a very good Prosecco and a poor example of Champagne.....and get it right.... in a blind taste test?
And for the smartasses... I'm not talking about giving it to the Labrador!  |

The main difference between a good quality sparkling wine and a lesser quality is whather the effervescence is produced by secondary fermentation as in Champagne and Prosecco or by CO2 injection.But, by the time your halfway through the third bottle do you really give a damn how the bubbles got in there?  |

Champagne is called champagne for NO other reason than it is from champagne in France.
Many of our sparkling wines beat it in quality.
Prosecco is an excellent example of a good sparkling wine that is as good as those from the champagne region.
Pay for champagne if you want. I pay for what I like not the fooking air miles. |

Quite right... Reviving this thread because Lidl is doing a special (£4.99 each) this weekend on Australian Sparkler of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes - sounds familiar? I shall be stocking up....!!! |

I only like vintage Champagne - Prosecco is more palatable than cheap Champagne IMO. |
