I have to be honest in saying that I am not very good at differentiating between good and bad Prosecco. The $10 stuff and the $25 stuff tastes equally refreshing to me. We do make Kir with it regularly, so that masks the taste some, but I have no brand loyalty when it comes to Prosecco.

Conventional wisdom also has it that its style changed (toward a more generic "upscale mass market" niche) after the company was acquired by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH).
