Champagne vs Prosecco

Champagne and prosecco are both popular celebratory wines for you to enjoy. Both have their own unique appeal to all wine lovers. They're suitable for different occasions and preferences. Champagne and prosecco also make great gifts! Of course, like all our drinks, it comes down to a personal preference.

What is the difference between Champagne and Prosecco?

  • Champagne is produced in Champagne, France, while Prosecco is from the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of Italy.
  • Champagne is made from three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. While Prosecco on the other hand is typically made from the Glera grape variety.
  • Champagne is made with the traditional method which involves a second fermentation that occurs in the bottle, creating a natural carbonation. It is also aged on the dead yeast cells (lees) for an extended period contributing to the complex flavour. Prosecco is produced using the tank method, where the second fermentation takes place in a pressurized tank rather than in individual bottles like their champagne counterpart. This method makes Prosecco have a fresher and fruitier flavour with less yeast.
  • They have different flavour profiles and sweetness levels. Champagne has a wider range of flavours and aromas due to the longer time it spends aging. It exhibits notes of citrus, green apple, toast, and brioche. It's range is more bone-dry to sweet. Prosecco has a light character and is more crisp with its flavours of appe, pear, and floral notes with a touch of sweetness. Prosecco is made with a slightly sweet or off-dry style.

What meals pair well with Champagne and Prosecco?

Champagne pairs perfectly with Caviar, Shellfish, soft cheeses, Mushroom dishes like risotto, light pasta, fruits and berries, sushi and sashimi, poultry, light desserts like pannacotta, macarons, and mousse, and fried foods. 

Prosecco on the other hand pairs well with foods like fresh seafood, oysters, shrimp and crab, salads, light pasta dishes, Asian and Fusion cuisine, light poultry, fresh fruit, sorbet, and quiches.

How does champagne taste?

The taste of Champagne can vary depending on the production method used, but it is generally described as having primary flavors of peach, cherry, citrus, almond, cream, and toast, with aromas of white flowers and strawberry notes.
