Prosecco has become one of the more popular sparkling wines these days. Not too surprising, since it's delicious and generally costs less than champagne, its well-known competitor. Prosecco, which is also the name of the grape, comes from the Veneto region of Italy. What helps keep this bubbly affordable is the method by which it's made, called the "Charmat Method." Unlike Champagne, this wine gets its bubbles in huge stainless steel tanks as opposed to other methods where the wine gains its bubbles in each individual bottle and is carefully monitored by the winemakers. This less labor-intensive process helps keep down costs, generally under $20 for a delightful bottle.
So whether you're celebrating, toasting, making mimosas or just want something light and fun- give prosecco a thought!
