Prosecco is an Italian wine made mainly from Glera grapes, best known for its sparkling styles and fresh fruit character. Prosecco DOC comes from designated areas of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. It includes white and rosé sparkling wines, semi-sparkling white wine and still white wine.

Prosecco and Champagne have different roots: northeastern Italy and France’s Champagne region. Their grapes and sparkling methods differ too. Prosecco DOC spumante develops its bubbles in tanks; Champagne’s second fermentation happens in bottles. The choice comes down to the particular wine and your taste.

Most Prosecco is dry or just off-dry. The word on the label tells you how sweet a bottle is: Brut is dry, Extra Dry is slightly sweeter, and Dry and Demi-Sec are sweeter still. Most Prosecco sold in the US is Brut or Extra Dry, so a truly sweet Prosecco is the exception, not the rule.

A 5 oz (150 mL) glass of Brut Prosecco at 11% alcohol has about 95 to 100 calories. A 750 mL bottle has about 475 to 500. Extra Dry Prosecco has slightly more, because it contains more sugar. Almost all the calories come from the alcohol, not the sugar.
