Difference Between A Champagne And Sparkling Wine - By Egungwu C. Benjamin

I will be sharing my little knowledge on the difference between champagne, and sparkling wines in this short piece.

The term 'Sparkling wine' to me is a general name. All Champagne can be referred to as sparkling wine, but not all 'sparkling wine' can be called 'Champagne'.

Why?

Champagne are produced in the champagne region of France. Any french sparkling wine that is produced out the Champagne region or produced in any other country like; USA, Nigeria, Italy, Germany etc can not be legally referred to as a champagne.

Example of champagnes are;

Dom Perignon (brut, demi-sec, etc) Moët & Chandon ,, ,, ,, Bollinger. ,, ,, ,, Veuve Clicquot. ,, ,, ,, Louis Roederer's Cristal, et-al.

Sparkling wine can be used as a general name for all, despite where it was produced. Now let us talk about other countries sparkling wine and what it is called.

Prosecco:  These are popular Italian sparkling wines, they produce bubbles when been poured into champagne glasses just like champagnes. example are; Martini prosecco, Spumante, Frizzante, Tranquillo etc.

American sparkling wine: Americans refer to theirs as sparkling wines.

Cava:  They are Spanish sparkling wine have very similar flavor to Champagnes

Sekt:  They German version of sparkling wine and has different tastes just like other wines, considering how sweet and dry it is.

Celebrating with Freixenet Prosecco: Best Occasions for Sparkling Wine

There's something naturally festive about the pop of a cork and the fizz of sparkling wine. Whether it's a joyful occasion or a simple moment of indulgence, few things can lift the spirits like a glass of bubbly. Among the many possibilities available, Freixenet Prosecco stands out as a versatile choice, suitable for a range of events. This blog will look at the art of celebrating with Freixenet Prosecco, looking into its qualities and finding the best times to open this lovely sparkling wine.

The History and Heritage of Freixenet Prosecco

Freixenet was formed in 1861 by Francesc Sala Ferrés, a Spanish entrepreneur with a passion for vineyards. The company started as a tiny winery in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, a town in Catalonia's Penedès area known for its winemaking heritage.

Freixenet was founded with the idea of producing high-quality sparkling wines using traditional methods. The family-owned company rapidly earned a reputation for excellence and creativity, making it a pioneer in the world of Cava, Spain's famous sparkling wine.

Understanding Prosecco: The Sparkling Wine from Italy

Prosecco is a sparkling white wine produced in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of Italy. It is mainly made from the Glera grape, which is famous for its crisp and fragrant qualities. Prosecco can be made in a variety of styles, which range from extra brut (extremely dry) to dolce (sweet), with something to suit every taste.

The process of manufacturing differentiates Prosecco from other sparkling wines such as Champagne and Cava. Prosecco is produced using the Charmat process, often called the Italian method or tank method. This involves a secondary fermentation in big stainless steel tanks, which produces a lighter, more refreshing form of sparkling wine.

When to Pop the Cork on Freixenet Prosecco

Birthdays

Celebrate birthdays with a glass of Freixenet Prosecco. It's the perfect way to toast the occasion, whether you're having a cosy family dinner or a lively party with friends. The bubbly adds a festive touch to the day and its light, refreshing taste is ideal for toasting the birthday honoree. Prosecco's versatility makes it a great pairing for everything from cake to canapes.

Anniversaries

An anniversary is a special milestone that deserves a toast, and Freixenet Italian Sparkling Rose is the perfect choice for celebrating love and commitment. Whether it's a wedding anniversary, a dating anniversary, or a business anniversary, popping open a bottle of sparkling wine adds a touch of romance and elegance to the occasion. Pair it with a romantic dinner for two or use it to create a celebratory atmosphere at a larger gathering.

Promotions and Achievements

Freixenet Italian Sparkling Rose is the perfect choice for raising a glass to celebrate professional milestones. Whether you're commemorating a promotion, launching a new business endeavour, or recognizing a job well done, a flute of this sparkling wine is the ideal way to honour the moment. It's an excellent option for office gatherings, client interactions, or for simply relaxing and unwinding after a productive day.

Weekend Brunch

Brunch is a beloved tradition, and a glass of Prosecco can transform an ordinary meal into a happy affair. A glass of bubbly is the ideal apéritif for a relaxing weekend breakfast or a special occasion. Prosecco accompanies a range of breakfast meals, from savoury quiches and Benedicts to sweet pastries and fruit.

Holidays

During holidays, feelings of joy, unity, and merriment abound, creating the ideal setting for enjoying sparkling wine. Whether it's Christmas, New Year's Eve, or any other special occasion, Prosecco brings a touch of sophistication and glamour to the festivities. Its effervescent and delicate taste complements holiday feasts, sweet treats, and joyful gatherings with family and friends. 

Bridal Showers and Baby Showers

Bridal showers and baby showers are wonderful occasions for celebrating new beginnings and the excitement of approaching milestones. Prosecco is a popular choice for toasting the bride-to-be or mother-to-be, bringing elegance and sparkle to the occasion. Its light and refreshing flavour makes it an ideal choice for these festive occasions, when friends and family gather to celebrate love, new beginnings, and shared enjoyment.

Food Pairing Ideas with Freixenet Prosecco

Appetisers and Small Bites: Prosecco is an excellent apéritif, and it pairs beautifully with a variety of appetisers and small bites. Try serving it with light and crispy options like bruschetta, crostini, or fried zucchini flowers. The bubbles also go well with salty snacks such as nuts, olives, and charcuterie boards featuring cured meats and cheeses.

Seafood: The crisp, refreshing nature of Prosecco makes it an ideal partner for seafood dishes. Try pairing it with grilled shrimp, seared scallops, or a classic plate of oysters. The wine's bright acidity will complement the briny flavours of the sea, while its delicate bubbles won't overwhelm the delicate textures of seafood.

Salads and Veggie Dishes: For a lighter meal or a vegetarian option, Prosecco pairs wonderfully with salads and veggie-focused dishes. Opt for a summery berry salad with a light vinaigrette, or try grilled vegetables drizzled with olive oil and herbs. The wine's fruity notes will enhance the flavours of the produce, creating a delightful harmony.

Pasta and Risotto: Prosecco is a classic pairing for Italian cuisine, and Freixenet Prosecco goes beautifully with pasta and risotto dishes. Look for lighter, cream-based sauces or dishes featuring seafood, vegetables, or herbs. The wine's bright acidity will cut through the richness of the dish, while its subtle sweetness will complement the savoury flavours.

Desserts: Prosecco is also a versatile partner for desserts. Its crispness and slight sweetness make it a lovely match for fruit-based desserts, such as a berry tart or a lemon posset. For a more indulgent option, try pairing it with a creamy panna cotta or a light and airy tiramisu.

Conclusion

From celebrating a birthday or anniversary to savouring a relaxing weekend brunch, Freixenet Prosecco brings sophistication and joy to any occasion. With its delightful fizz, vibrant taste, and easygoing charm, this sparkling wine is sure to please a crowd and elevate any meal or cocktail. Get ready to turn every moment into a memorable experience with the endless pairing options that Prosecco offers.

Flamenco Sketches, Miles Davis (1959)

Ingredients

1 floz brut cava

1 floz El Oso y El Madroño

1 dash orange bitters

1 1/2 floz sparkling water

Directions

Stir all ingredients with ice until chilled

Strain into a chilled coupe glass

Garnish with a pencil sketch of a dancer

Notes

The key ingredient in this drink is El Oso y El Madroño, a liqueur made from a special type of Spanish “strawberry.” Unfortunately, it is not to my knowledge available outside of Madrid (or at least Spain). I suspect that a different strawberry liqueur like crème de fraise would yield a markedly different, but still good, result.
