Discussing the sparkling wines of Prosecco may not be a revealing topic considering many view this beverage as a casual alternative to sparklers from California, Spain and even perhaps those from Champagne, France. The truth about this libation is that it has been misunderstood and unserious for years. Prosecco is one of those unique wines that became famous by accident and then spent decades apologizing for it. Even with global economic challenges, it remains the leading sparkling wine in Italy with the US overshadowing other countries consuming over 30% of this bubbly. The reality is that this social beverage is an “affordable luxury’ that reflects our relaxed way of life.
