Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine that many may label as city Champagne's less sophisticated country cousin. However, BusinessWeek finds Prosecco to be the perfect liquid accompaniment to summer grilling, picnics, and outdoor gatherings.
The wine is made from a white grape grown primarily on the slopes of Valdobbiadene and the hills of Conegliano in the Veneto of Northern Italy. The grapes also grow in Friuli and Trentino, and even in Germany and Austria. In order to be labeled Prosecco, the wine must be made from 100% Prosecco grapes, though there are Proseccos on the market that are blends. While Champagne has an "intentionally bready" flavor, Prosecco is light and fruity, with a gentle and lingering aroma of almonds, apples, and pears.
The article has a list of about a half dozen Proseccos, all of which are under $20, the usual price range for Prosecco.

For so long, Prosecco was seen as the poor cousin to Champange, but with so many brands (finally)available to more people, the stigma will finally be lifted. I've preferred Prosecco and it's Spanish cousin Cava, to any big priced Champange for years now. It's nice to see that a trend has caught up with me (for once!).

I've always preferred Prosecco and it's Spanish cousin Cava instead of Champange. It's prices make it possible to keep around and not only crack open for the special occasion, but the "just because" days when a glass of bubbly is a welcome addition.
