When comparing Champagne and Prosecco, the key difference is the regions from which they originate, as well as consumer cost due to the creation process. Champagne is a product of the Champagne region of France and is made using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. A standard pour, which is between five and six ounces, has about 128 calories. A good bottle of entry-level Champagne costs about $40. – such as Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
Prosecco wine on the other hand, originates from the village of Prosecco, located near the city of Trieste in northeastern Italy in the Veneto region. This wine is mostly made with Glera grapes, which were formerly referred to as Prosecco grapes, but it can also include Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, or a few other varieties. A standard pour of Prosecco has about 121 calories. A good bottle of entry-level Prosecco costs about $15. – such as La Marca.
