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.

Agree with you about Prosecco but Cava is lovely. Very dry and big bubbles. It doesn’t give me the instant headache that champagne does for some reason.

It's all just alcohol, water and carbon dioxide.

It’s Prosecco col fundo or sui lieviti and it’s DOCG. Hard to find though.

Don’t forget about Asti, too, from Italy!

Thank you, did not know this! Will have to scout it out

Somebody bought us a bottle of sparkling Shiraz for Christmas…..Jesus it was foul. Not relevant to the thread really but I’m just reminded of it.

Probably best you turn down all future party invitations in case you're met with this horrifying situation again.

I assert that fizz is sparkling wine, and bubbles is exclusively champagne

Why post that? Just move on.

I’m taking Babycham next time fizz is requested.

Can't stand prosecco. English sparkling wine is nice though.

You obviously don't know that much about wine, OP.

Cava is made in the same way as champagne.

Prosecco is made differently.

I don't disagree with you about prosecco, it's usually disgusting. But there's plenty of decent cavas and cremants out there for around £15.

Fizz and Bubbles - usually means just cheap Prosecco

I like Cava - my fizz of choice 😄

I don't like prosecco, its terrible stuff. Cava qualifies though as it's production method is similar to 'fizz' and it has multiple grapes which give it the flavour depth.

I'm struggling to see why you'd post such judgemental bollocks.

You don't like prosecco, fair enough, tastes differ. It is however Fizzy.

If you turned up at my party and insisted that only champagne would do I'd think badly of you.

And, as a guest, I’d think pretty badly of my host being so judgmental.

I do if I want to 🤷🏻‍♀️

A bottle of bubbly = a bottle of champagne
A bottle of fizz = a bottle of prosecco/cava/other sparkling wine
There you go darlings, my definitive guide 😉

I don’t think your response makes any sense.

Me too 😁

How much baby sick have you tasted OP 😷

OP your thread has brought out Mr and Mrs Earnest

In their defense it is a subject to be seriously considered. I mean, it’s not like there’s much else of note to worry about in the world at the moment. Now, as never before, is the time to lay into a person for a Saturday night thread of Prosecco themed hatred.

I mean if I’d said what I really think of
people who equate it with Champagne…….☠️

See, I know this. But I still think of Cava as being low alchol / sweet / a bit nasty. I've had Cava. I like Cava. But for me it will always be in my head as a low alchol low cost Babycham equivalent.

Prosecco is not one homogeneous drink... You get nasty ones and delicious ones. Sweeter and drier. Cheaper and more expensive. I find it bizarre that anyone would write off a whole type of fizz through sheer snobbery.

People know that a lot of champagne's appeal/cost is in the marketing and gatekeeping, right? Like the De Beers diamond market was.
