What do you call sparkling wine

And the next time someone asks you if Prosecco is just Champagne, you can school them with your bougie knowledge.

It's made from fermented grape juice; Emma Rice, the winemaker for Hattingley Valley Wines in England says that sparkling wine encompasses all bubbly wine that isn't classified as Champagne or Prosecco. She explained that most of the time, sparkling wine will be white because it comes from the flesh of the grape, which is always clear.

While Champagne and Prosecco are both sparkling wines, not all sparkling wines can be classified as Champagne or Prosecco. There are various methods to making a sparkling wine. Ashley Santoro, the regional beverage director for the Standard Hotels in New York, says the method used to make sparkling wine mostly depends on where in the world you are.

Although chardonnay and pinot noir are the most commonly used grapes for sparkling wine, it can be made with virtually any grape. While many people might resort to drinking sparkling wines in a flute, both Rice and Santoro believe that to get the full flavor of the wines, a wider tulip-shaped glass is best. They say people tend to use flutes because they preserve the bubbles better and are more aesthetically pleasing.

But there are many other examples, and most tend to be affordable—especially compared to Champagne. Ready to go exploring? Here are seven quality sparkling wines to suit any budget.
