Here's a toast for you. Cheers!
Enjoy a refreshing cocktail from Venice, Italy, made from vodka and lemon sorbet and finished with prosecco. Think of this drink as a big person slushy-like beverage served as an apéritif, palate cleanser, or refreshing dessert served with crisp biscotti.
All Champagne, by definition, must come from vineyards in the Champagne region of France. This small region comprises three districts, including the towns of Reims, Troyes, Charleville-Mézières, and Chalons. Prosecco, produced in the Veneto region of Italy, is considered an everyday drink or sparkling wine. Unlike most Champagnes, it does not improve with age and should be consumed within six months of purchase or within a year of bottling. It tends to be drier than many Champagnes. A good prosecco is inexpensive and very drinkable, right for any occasion, even breakfast.
