Champagne, Prosecco, Cava — what's the difference?
Only wine from the Champagne region of France, made by the traditional method (a second fermentation inside the bottle), can be called Champagne — that slow, yeasty magic is where the brioche and fine bead come from. Prosecco is tank-fermented in Italy's Veneto: fresher, fruitier, friendlier on the wallet, built for spritzes and sunshine. Cava uses Champagne's method at Spanish prices, and premium Australian sparkling — especially from Tasmania — now rivals good Champagne in blind tastings. Magnums (find them in our magnum collection) age more gracefully and make an unbeatable statement at any celebration.
Reading the label
The sweetness scale runs from Brut Nature (bone dry) through Brut (the everyday standard, dry) to Demi-Sec (noticeably sweet). Non-vintage (NV) wines blend years for house consistency; vintage Champagne comes from a single exceptional harvest and rewards patience. Grower Champagnes — made by the family that farms the vines — are the insider's buy: character and value the big houses can't match.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Prosecco just cheap Champagne?
No — it's a different wine on purpose. Different grape (Glera), different method, different goal: bright, easy fruit rather than toasty complexity. Great Prosecco beats mediocre Champagne every time.
What does Brut actually mean?
Dry — less than 12 grams of sugar per litre. It's the standard style for Champagne and quality sparkling. Extra Brut and Brut Nature are drier still; Demi-Sec is the sweet one for desserts.
How should I serve sparkling wine?
Well chilled — 6–8°C, about three hours in the fridge — and in a tulip glass rather than a skinny flute if you want to actually smell it. Open with a sigh, not a pop: hold the cork and twist the bottle.
Does Champagne improve with age?
Vintage Champagne can evolve beautifully for a decade or more. Non-vintage is released ready to drink — enjoy it within a couple of years while it's fresh.
