Champagne vs. Prosecco: The Real Differences

Two sparkling wine glasses filled with pale golden bubbles sit on a wooden surface, surrounded by soft, warm holiday lights and festive greenery in the background.

Sparkling wine is a holiday favorite, but Champagne and Prosecco offer two very different experiences in the glass. Champagne brings depth and complexity thanks to its French origin, classic grape trio, and traditional bottle fermentation. Prosecco leans lighter and fruitier, crafted in Italy using the Charmat method that preserves fresh aromatics. Understanding these key differences makes it easier to choose the right bubbly for any celebration—and if you want to dive deeper, join us for our Holiday Sparkling Wine Class on December 20th from 12:30 to 2 PM. Cheers to a season filled with sparkle.
