Re: Prosecco or Prošek? Italy and Croatia at loggerheads in the EU

Croatia and Italy go to battle over use of the term Prošek

Italy is preparing to block for the second time a PDO application for Croatia’s Prošek wine, claiming it sounds too similar to Prosecco.

Prosecco or prošek? The EU battle between Italy and Croatia over wine branding

Prosecco is probably the most famous Italian wine, a byword for sparkling good times and popping corks. But behind the fizz, Italy is in a major dispute over whether Croatia can sell a premium dessert wine by the name of prošek in stores across the EU.

Apparently, Prosecco Is Having an Existential Crisis

One is a sparking wine from Italy. One is a still dessert wine from Croatia. And the debate over them is causing abundant friction between two of the E.U.’s member states. The debate around Prosecco and Prošek is heating up — and, much like heat itself, that’s a worrying thing for wine enthusiasts.

Whatever Happened to the ‘Peach In Champagne’?

Whatever Happened to the ‘Peach In Champagne’?

Halfway through “While the City Sleeps,” a 1956 film noir directed by Fritz Lang, actor George Sanders is sitting in a booth with Ida Lupino in a stylish, vaguely tropical New York restaurant. Before him on the table are two deep, glass goblets, each with a small peach nestled inside. While Lupino talks, Sanders methodically pierces each peach on all sides with a fork. His nonchalance indicates he’s done it countless times before. He then fills each glass with Champagne. The peaches float to the surface.

Does Prosecco Taste Like Champagne?

Let’s talk about Prosecco, how it tastes, is it the cheaper Champagne option or is it an entirely different experience altogether?

Although Prosecco and Champagne are both Sparkling Wines, they are both made using different methods and different grapes, which does create two different tasting experiences.

Champagne approaches the festive season with a shortage of wire caps, labels and foil caps

It’s now become a fact of life in Champagne – everyone knew that trade would resume after all the gloom caused by the pandemic, but no one had imagined that business would pick up quite so quickly and dramatically. Champagne firms are now coping with a huge influx of orders for the festive season, and are being overwhelmed by demand, but at the same time limited by their suppliers due to lack of inventory. Consequently, “we are short of everything: wire caps, neck labels, boxes, foil caps...” comments Maxime Toubart, chairman of the Champagne producers’ organisation (SGV), who also highlights the fact that the price increases caused by the surging cost of raw materials come with considerable pressure on lead times.

Bugatti Made A Carbon-Fiber Champagne Bottle To Celebrate Its $18-Million Hypercar

Bugatti Made A Carbon-Fiber Champagne Bottle To Celebrate Its $18-Million Hypercar

It took 150 hours and 37 steps to create.

Over two years after it was unveiled in Geneva, the Bugatti La Voiture is finally complete. Based on the Bugatti Chiron, the La Voiture is a one-off tribute to the iconic Type 57 SC Atlantic. Valued at $18 million, it was once the most valuable new car in the world.

To celebrate the car's completion, Bugatti has partnered with Champagne Carbon to create the 'La Bouteille Noire,' a one-off carbon champagne bottle and case inspired by the La Voiture Noire car - and it's just as decadent as you would expect.

According to Bugatti, the 15-liter carbon fiber bottle took 150 hours of craftsmanship and involved 37 different steps. The bottle is contained in a flowing sculptural case inspired by the La Voiture Noire. When closed, the swanky case mirrors the overhead design of the one-off hypercar.

A Decades-Old Champagne Style is Trending. Here’s Why.

Champagne houses used to ferment their base wines in oak barrels, which enhanced age-ability and added richness, creaminess and notes of coconut and vanilla. This practice had all but ended by the 1950s, however. Most producers—with the exception of Krug and Bollinger—abandoned the practice in favor of stainless steel, a lower maintenance option that was easier to clean and decreased evaporation loss.

Inside Burgundy’s History, Including A ‘Royal War’ With Champagne

Inside Burgundy’s History, Including A ‘Royal War’ With Champagne

The first moment I got interested in wine I was warned about Burgundy. It was made abundantly clear that we (by which I mean a bunch of friends with far more experience in wine than I had) drank Bordeaux. In those days, not that long ago, it was always Bordeaux Firsts or the occasional Second Growth – as long as it was one of the top names and vintages. Château Palmer might get a run if someone wanted to slum it and go Third Growth, and if we really wanted to walk on the wild side we might let our hair down with a St. Émilion or Pomerol, but it better be a really good one or eternal humiliation was the inevitable fate. This was simply how it was. The way of the world. And wine was so much cheaper.

“Grand cru” and “premier cru” on Champagne, what does it mean? Why was it abandoned? | Per on Forbes

“Grand cru” and “premier cru” on Champagne, what does it mean? Why was it abandoned? | Per on Forbes

The story of Champagne’s price-fixing “l’échelle des crus” system and how it was abolished
Grand cru and premier cru are famous words. You see them on many champagne bottles. Probably, most people take it as a sign that the wine inside is of better quality. Is that true? Not necessarily. In Champagne, these denominations were created mainly as a tool for price-fixing. Today, grand cru and premier cru has no official value; it is not an official quality indication, nor a classification. It is a historical mention that is still tolerated. To find the best quality champagne, you should look at who has made it, not what percentage it was given on a price scale a hundred years ago. Here’s the story, including some personal opinions on the evolution.

Inflation, Supply Chain Creating Rare Challenges in Champagne World

o say that the champagne world is a bit “off-kilter” these days would be a significant understatement.

The Financial Times reported in late December that retail champagne prices (especially vintage champagne) had increased 30% in previous twelve months. Historically, champagne prices increase far more modestly; usually 4%-5% per annum for non-vintage (“NV”) champagne, and 8%-10% for “vintage” and “special cuvees” (such as Dom Perignon, Louis Roederer’s “Cristal” and Veuve Cliquot’s “La Grande Damme”). In the “wine-as-an-investment” ecosystem, champagne was always considered more an “annuity” than a “tech stock”.
