Prosecco defeats Champagne

Prosecco beats Champagne with 330 million bottles

This year, Prosecco defeates Champagne: this year, the most popular Italian sparkling wine in the world will reach 330 million bottles produced, compared to 300 million of French ones.

“It is a trend that is strengthening and, in the first six months of the year, in China Italian sparkling wines in general have been sold twice as many as Champagne” Gianluca Bisol said, who with his brother Desiderio leads the eponymous Prosecco group.
