Like most wines, all prosecco is not made equally. Prosecco, a type of sparkling wine, is made with grapes from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region in Veneto, Italy, primarily with the glera grape. Grapes in this region grow at different altitudes; the higher the altitude, the better the prosecco quality, says wine expert Vince Anter, founder and Sales host of the "V is for Vino" show on Amazon Prime. Sadly, we can't just jet-set to Veneto's vineyards every time we need a new bottle of prosecco. So how do we buy a good bottle of prosecco closer to home? We talked with Anter to find out. Some think prosecco is just another version of Champagne, but the two are quite different. While true Champagne (from the Champagne region of France) has bready, yeasty, crème brûlée flavors, prosecco tastes fruitier, like green apples, pears or honeydew melons. Champagne bubbles are also finer, while prosecco bubbles are bigger.


These key differences stem from each sparkling wine's production process. 40 to $50, and you can spend way more than that," Anter says. "Prosecco taps out in the $50 to $75 range for the high end, and you can easily get a really good prosecco for $30. Just look for the DOCG label, Anter says. It's an acronym for denominazione di origine controllata e garantita, which in English means controlled and guaranteed designation of origin. I'm big on this for any wines: Go to your local wine shop," he says. "Grocery stores have to stock the wine in, say, 50 stores. When you do that, you essentially say this wine has to be mass produced - but wine isn't like something made out of a factory. Flutes aren't the best for getting everything out of the wine," he says. "You lose the aromatics. You want more from the nose than the palate, so most people who seriously drink wine will use white-wineglasses.

While prosecco's popularity grows, it's availability is not a given - which the global prosecco shortage of 2016 made clear. Unusual weather patterns are often to blame for this catastrophe; in 2016, sneakers up to 50 percent of harvests failed. Is Prosecco a Champagne? Prosecco is a type of sparkling wine, made with grapes from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region in Veneto, Italy. In order for a sparkling wine to be considered Champagne, it must come from the Champagne region of France. Champagne tends to have much smaller bubbles than Prosecco, as well as bready, yeasty, crème brûlée flavors. What does Prosecco taste like? Prosecco tastes fruity, like green apples, honeydew melon, pears, and honeysuckle. What is a good brand of Prosecco? A super high-end Prosecco won't cost you more than about $50, but you can get a good one for about $15. Many people love a bottle of Ruffino Prosecco, which will only cost you about $16 USD. Is Prosecco just cheap Champagne? No, but Prosecco is definitely less expensive. This is due to a difference in methodologies. Prosecco uses the Charmat method, which is done in large pressurized tanks allowing for large-scale production. Champagne, on the other hand, is bottled and then has yeast and sugar added to create and trap the bubbles. Is Prosecco dry or sweet? Prosecco is produced in a dry style, but the grapes' fruity flavors usually makes it seem sweeter than it actually is.

Richard Stallman's personal site. For current political commentary, see the daily political notes. If you want to order a book (or something else), don't buy it from Amazon. Amazon harms its customers, as well as workers, the national treasury, and many others that it affects. Here's a good (though long) overview of why Amazon's overall activity is harmful to society overall. This page lists alternatives to Amazon for buying various kinds of products. Some of these sites may share some of Amazon's unethical practices. I am pretty sure that any site selling MP3 files on the internet imposes an EULA - an inexcusable wrong. Streaming sites, too. And all of them identify the purchaser. It is better to buy from a store, and pay cash. Or else get a copy through sharing. For a book, order it directly from the publisher or through a local book store. If you want to use a URL to refer to a book, please don't use an Amazon page.


Here are specific reasons - plenty of them. Amazon is so close to being a monopoly for internet sales by most companies that it can gouge them. It drives many of them into bankruptcy. If you do internet purchases, making a point of not buying through Amazon is a way you can personally push back. Amazon biases its searches to favor vendors that use Amazon for their shipping. If this isn't illegal, it ought to be. We should not allow a store as big as Amazon to have anything to do with order fulfillment, for its own sales or anyone else's. Amazon has so much power over the US retail economy that it imposes its power over all participants. If it is going to be a monopoly, it should be regulated like other monopolies. Amazon has so much market share that its sheer size distorts the market. We should not allow a company to have a share over around 10% of any market.
