Despite similar sweetness classifications, a Brut Prosecco can taste fruitier and sweeter than a Brut Champagne due to its production method and inherent fruit-forward flavor profile. However, the actual sugar content depends on the specific label, from Brut Nature to Demi-Sec.

While both are fizzy favorites for celebrations, statistics show that Champagne typically has a slightly higher alcohol by volume (ABV) than Prosecco. The ABV of Champagne usually falls between 12% and 12.5%, whereas Prosecco averages between 10.5% and 11.5%. Though the difference may seem minimal, it is a key distinction influenced by their production methods and grape varieties.
