Prosecco is becoming more and more popular, not only as an everyday drink but also as a cheaper alternative to Champagne.
There are a number of key difference between these two sparkling wines, the first being the grape and country.
Prosecco is the name of the grape and the wine, grown in the Veneto region of North [...]

In the early 2000s we began to see bottles with screw caps replacing those with corks on our off-licence and supermarket shelves. Much disappointment and debate ensued as wine enthusiasts mourned the ceremony, nostalgia and even the sound associated with popping a cork.
Some considered the screw cap a seal for only inferior or cheap bottles [...]

Wine as a subject of discussion can evoke tremendous passion, even pretension and snobbery, and this is particularly apparent in the case of a wine’s origin – distinctly whether it is ‘old world’ or ‘new world’. Some circles believe that the former is far superior to the latter.
Old world wines are those produced in Europe’s [...]

The science of winemaking – which was thought to have begun in around 6000 BC – is known as oenology and wine production can be categorised into still and sparkling. The process starts with the harvesting of the grapes and from beginning to end can take between a few months and more than 20 years.

to include their Rosé varietal.  This Medium Dry French Rosé will compliment most Pasta dishes.  This wine would be classed as a easy drink and although one of our lower priced wines it will stand up very well at any sit down dinner or party.  [...]

Veuve Clicquot is a great reasonably priced Champagne with a fresh and crisp taste. A classic dry champagne with a rich golden colour and several layers of taste including a fruity long lasting freshness with persistent bubbles. This may not be as highly respected as some of the more expensive champagnes available but on my [...]

The King of all Champagnes!! 5 stars for taste, presentation and overall experience. This is a consistently great champagne that never fails to impress. Krug Champagne is one of those brands that gains its exclusivity from only being available through selected retailers so I was pleased to find three varieties on the Fine Wines website [...]

I experienced my first taste of Dom Perignon approximately a year ago and since then have sampled a few of the different vintage varieties including 1990, 1992 and 1996. I find that this is one of my favourite champagnes but most of the time to save for a special occasion! Although fairly expensive I believe [...]
