But it is not the better ones that are commonly offered or spoken about by the 20 yr old girls who must have. The only female members of our family that likes it is my young granddaughters and neices all between 20 -30 years old all the remainder like Sauvigion or the really older ones like my wife and her sister Rose.

One of the joys of Lanzarote is Lidl where a bottle of excellent Cava retails at less than 2 euros. The more you drink, the more you save!

I must admit to having never tried Cava but may do so in Spain next week as their is a LIDL and ALDI near where we are staying. Do they sell it in Brut , Demi Sec or Sec as per Asti etc.

They shouldn't be in pubs either.
What's wrong with a pint of mild and a packet of Big D peanuts.

Not quite sure, as I always went straight for the Brut. Tho if I were a betting man, which I am whenever possible, I reckon they probably do all three. If you're not sure whether you might like Cava or not, most supermarkets stock little packs of three mini-bottles, each of which is about a big glassful. Give it a spin!

I will buy a bottle in Spain and if none of us like it mix it with Orange Juice. In Teneriffe my middle son won a bottle 1 night and then again the next and asked if he could swap it for a pint of lager on the 2nd night. He thought that it was awful.
I tend to use a dry Cava for a white sangria......but also very happy to drink a decent Cava as it is. Some of them are delicious.

Cava is probably better, but Prosecco makes an excellent alternative.

Why is it so important to put the opinions of '20 year old girls' (whoever they are) here? Sparkling wines are not the sole preserve of '20 year old girls'.
Oh right. Thanks for that. And the point of that post is...?

An All Inclusive in Teneriffe is not likely to sell the best quality or give it away as a prize so my sons views may be tainted. What kind of price would you expect to pay for a reasonable Cava in Spain so as to be able to form an opinion? Unless anybody knows a brand name that they can recommend

Well I guess Lidl have found a way to shift a load of close-to-sell-by-date Prosecco, which wouldn't be bad business.

Just a general point about how I have come by the opinion oh high and mighty one.

Still easy to find in Lidl up here,as people have taste in Birmingham (or it might be something to do with the religious sensibilities).Might have some at Christmas,mixed with Mandarin Napoleon brandy to disguise the taste.
The All Inclusive will no doubt have been giving away 2 Euro or less bottles.....all the Spanish supermarkets have this cheap stuff in. This is a decent article (albeit written for Americans) with some of the better brands mentioned. No 1 is very readily available here.

About €6 or €7 ...Freixenet and Codorniu are the big brands and probably the safest.

Now, if you'd said "Pomagne" - a sparkling cider/champagne of yesteryear, I might of thought: That BG fella knows a thing or two.
But to compare a Liebfraumilch with a Spumante is plain ignorant.
The reason Prosecco is popular [with many of the under-seventies i.e. not you] is that it is an affordable Champagne replacement. Particularly low in calories [for an alcoholic drink] many young female drinkers have taken to it as the tipple of choice when out on the town. Also goes down nice with Sunday lunch too.
My guess is that you either drink real Champagne [because you're a rich tw^t] or you don't like Champagne [coz you despise rich tw^ts] - I guess the latter .....
