Will there be any if the case left by Chrimbo?

 

[Shadow]

It tastes nothing like Bolly.
But it is excellent fizzy wine and is excellent value (as are most of the Taste the Difference range), it is highly regarded in the Trade.
Get 2 cases!

Very much doubt it...11 weeks to find out.

Looks interesting . We like the Coop Cava, better than any presecco I have tried.

Am not surprised. Generally, cava is going to be better than prosecco at an equivalent price (until you start paying more than, say £16).
This is because cheap prosecco is over-produced, grape quality is not great while cava quality has improved over the last number of years. Also, cava is produced in a similar way to champagne (second fermentation in bottle) while prosecco is produced by the Charmat method (in vast tanks).

From the little I've read the French industry is using Cremant wines to fight back against the Prosecco invasion.

Last year we went to a wine tasting evening, we had prosecco, cava and a couple of others, the prosecco was the least favourite, the cava was buttery any really tasty.
