To want to know why normal wine gets me pisseder than fizzy wine?

I don’t get it? I’ve had one Friday night (large) glass of normal flat wine and I feel a bit tipsy. However when it have the same sized glass of prosecco I’m not so pissed. Yet it’s the same percentage? Also if I’m ever on a night out, I can easily guzzle a bottle —or two— of fizz , yet a bottle of wine would have me spewing like something from a horror film.

Why? What’s the gravy? Surely the difference is just a Sodastream or whatever? Is it feet? Do they still crush he grapes with feet? Am I allergic to feet?

Pisseder you say?

I can’t drink wine either, but can drink prosecco all night long Grin
Most white wines have 13+% these days, fizzy wines tend to be 10-11%. It really does make a difference. Wine

I also get far less pisseder on prosecco than I do on flat white wine. In fact I now only drink bubbly stuff as feel so awful on the other. No idea why so will be following closely. Could it be that the bubbles take up wine space?

I get more pisseder on wine in a pub than wine at home. It may be because I drink it quicker, I don't really know.

I think I tend to guzzle flat white wine. It goes down far too easily and makes me pissed quite quickly whereas I tend to sip champagne more slowly.

I can guzzle prosecco all night but 2/3 of a bottle of flat wine gets me much more pisseder.
Though rare, a prosseco hangover is proper evil.

Prosseco goes down like pop.

Prosecco is a gift from heaven.

Yes, prosecco is a gift from heaven that the baby Jesus floated down to us on a cloud.
Thank you baby Jesus for providing a drink I can chug all night( all day if necessary) and remain upright.

I have never tasted prosecco.

I am loving the word pisseder though.
