Just because they are fizzy doesn’t make Prosecco and Cava ‘fizz’

[LineDry]

Fizz is Champagne. At a push Cremant. It is not Prosecco which although it is slightly fizzy loses it pretty much immediately.

Moreover it tastes like baby sick and, for the price, anything else is better.

You see for me when someone says fizz I immediately assume it will be Prosecco and wouldn’t think of referring to champagne as fizz!

Another cava fan here. Especially drunk in Spain

Mate, Lucozade is 'fizz.' 😆

Where do you stand on Nosecco OP?

The devils work.

Now pink lemonade lucazade and some gin 😙

Yeah. Anything other than champagne = fizz
but I was reminded of my favorite meme so thanks

Not in the same class as Namplagne?

It just doesnt come up to muster as a tasteless, sugary imposter to Namplagne you're right.

I agree. Cava has much more flavour. Prosecco just tastes of, er, fizz.

I am with you about the tiresome grumpy woman. But I am with her about ready mixed bucks fizz. It's really not very nice.

Who fucking cares?

M&S did a clementine one years ago that was quite nice.

elderly relatives of mine used to cater a Christmas morning brunch. They bought twenty bottles of premade bucks fizz, and put in an amazing spread. If anyone had the poor manners to comment I would have quietly asked them to leave!

Fizz to me is along the lines of plonk for still wine i.e. cheap stuff.

I would have been very pissed off to have been served prosecco when I'd brought champagne. Actually no one I know would serve prosecco, it would at least be a decent cremant or cava.

The word itself isn't as bad as bubbly, or even worse, bubbles. Makes me think of a bunch of screaming women on a hen do, wearing sashes and drinking out of penis straws.

If you hunt around you can find Prosecco where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle rather than in a tank.

Unless it’s Bolly I’m not interested.

Quite. Prosecco is utter crap - carbonated wine. The postmix of fizz. Cava or Cremant are much nicer. A lot of Champagne is overrated and you're paying for the name.

Who indeed. 🤷‍♀️

I would not comment either, I would drink it and thank them. But still. Much better made fresh.

Why post? Just move on.

Anything fizzy is fizz.

Some Prosecco is nice, most isnt.. The problem is that it became very popular very quickly and a lot of people wanted to cash in.

Any sparkling plonk is fizz

Buy a soda stream, fizz any wine to your taste. Job done.

This.

To me, prosecco is fizz!🥂

Very interesting - I thought prosecco had to be produced by the charmat method to get the DOG?
Do you mean sparkling wine (fizz!!) with glera produced via the traditional method? (Would that still be prosecco though?)
