What is the difference between champagne and cava? what does it have to do with sparkling wine

 Champagne and Cava are two very famous sparkling wine producing areas, and they are also the brands of the two major champagnes. Champagne sparkling wine is subject to strict legal requirements, and only sparkling wine brewed in the Champagne region of France by traditional methods can be called Champagne, so sparkling wine produced in other countries cannot be called "Champagne". In Spain, it is also a sparkling wine produced by traditional brewing methods, which can only be called "Cava". So, Champagne is the French sparkling wine and Cava is the Spanish sparkling wine.

The LEESON red wine sharing of Yuncang winery brand is also sparkling wine, so what are the differences between champagne and cava?

1. The origin is different. Champagne comes from the Champagne region of France, while Cava comes from the Catalonia region of Spain.

2. Wine grape varieties are different. The grape varieties used to make champagne in the Champagne area generally use Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The grape varieties used to make Cava are Spanish local varieties such as Majiapo, Xarello, and Pareada.

3. The flavor of the wine is different. French champagne is mostly known for its fruity and floral aromas. Aged champagne also has aromas such as toast and biscuits, with complex layers, high acidity, and a delicate and fragrant taste. Cava is not as delicate as champagne, the acidity is not as high as champagne, and the aroma is more intense and direct, not delicate.

4. The aging time is different. French champagne is strictly limited by laws and regulations, and ordinary champagne must be aged for at least 15 months before going on the market . Vintage Champagne requires at least three years of aging. Although Spanish cava also has strict legal regulations, it takes about 9 months to age for a shorter period than Champagne before it goes on the market.

5. The price is different. Whether it is brand awareness or geographical protection, champagne has pushed up the price of champagne. Therefore, compared with cava, champagne is more expensive for the same sparkling wine, while cava is relatively cheap.
