prosecco

It's preferable to trash talk the husband behind his back over a glass of prosecco with 3 and exactly 3 friends.

Also, equal to 3 full bottles (750 ml each) of Prosecco at 12% ABV.

Same for champange/prosecco compared to good white wine for 1/2 the price.

For example: small prosecco before dinner, then red or white wine with the food, and then a Fernet Branca at the end of the meal.

The other side of this, restaurants in Venice charging dupe tourists thousands of euros for a glass of prosecco and lobster rolls is really bad.

(like Barilla is a premium pasta, Galbani makes premium mozarella, Alfa Romeo makes premium cars, Rotari prosecco is a premium sparkling wine).

Borges, in his Library of Babel, anticipated this imbalance: an infinity of recipes for lining the pockets of the prosecco-producing class, but not a single one for escape.

They probably cut it in half, stuffed it with some prosciutto, some gorgonzola, cherry tomatoes and rocket, and washed it all down with a glass of prosecco or an espresso.

(Ferrari vs Alfa Romeo, champagne over prosecco).

Seems to me (despite the almost certainly valid legal points in the comments here) that the Velcro one is a bit tongue-in-cheek whereas I was slightly taken aback at how direct and earnest the Prosecco one seemed.

Sidenote: While I had half of Sundays off and free access to a table on the slow hours (along with anything on the menu and maybe a bottle of lambrusco or prosecco on a good week) when I was in Italy, the truth is I would peddle my bike to the nona's house to eat for like 4-5 hours with a nap which had those generous portions you are mentioning.

You mean like the traditional Croatian wine Prosek being banned from sale because it sounds too similar to prosecco which was developed long after (and they are different types of wine).[1] Or the feta cheese I buy from Germany that can't call itself feta and that anyone in day to day conversation will refer to as feta.

Compare with "Prosecco" recently starting an advertising campaign on the London Underground[0] telling people to stop calling whatever generic, non-region protected sparkling wine they're drinking "Prosecco" because Prosecco is DOC protected.

Like if you walk into a store and they offer you coffee or even a glass of prosecco, I would also say to my wife "oh we're in that kind of store now" because you know you're about to be ripped off in some way.

On the “associated” thing - not so much about collections but there was an interesting article on the guardian website a few months ago, about a woman who came to realise that ‘I like Prosecco’ was not a substitute for a personality, but she had run with it for so long that that was all she ever got as a gift, and she discovered her friends knew very little else about her.

Their research group is called 'Prosecco', and another of their projects at Inria is 'Squirrel'...

Prosecco and sparkling wines are usually better if they're from the previous year.

For instance I like Prosecco, not Champagne sparkling wine.
