The effect is nowhere near the same, but sure they taste fine. I spent 3 days in Champagne tasting the difference. You can buy real Champagne for 5 euro a bottle. Why buy Cava or Prosecco then?

I seem to remember doing just that, about a week ago, when I mentioned to you that cava and other champagnoises are just as good as cheap champagne, and often a lot cheaper. “I don’t hear you complaining about when drinking wine or champagne.”

It is only to the advantage of the Dutch to have such an "appellation controllée".

The E.U. is supposed to make trade more free and equal between member states, and instead they introduce forms of "protection." How odd that there should be euroskeptics, eh? That’s madness.
