Bubbly Explained: The difference between sparkling wines | Champagne | Cava | Prosecco | California Champagne

Getting ready for 2022? I thought Iโ€™d take this opportunity to explain the differences within the category of Sparkling Wine. While I think more and more people in the U.S. are catching on to the variety in wines, I still hear many refer to it all sparkling wines as champagne.

In todayโ€™s video, Iโ€™m talking through the sparkling wines (Champagne, Cava, Prosecco, California Champagne) their origins, grapes used, and their respective price points that you can keep in mind next time youโ€™re out shopping for some bubbly wine.

No matter the occasion, you canโ€™t ever really go wrong when drinking a glass of sparkling wine and I hope youโ€™re inspired after watching this video to grab a bottle to ring in the New Year!

Happy New Year and see you in 2022!
