Some dude in Germany took me on a tour of the wine offerings there, and even that was bunk compared to Bordeaux.

we drink a lot of cava here, and only a few years ago, found out, cava is the original champagne. Itīs made the same traditional way as Champagne, unlike prosecco from Italy, the bubbles come from the fermentation in the bottle, where as prosecco comes from the bubbles being forced in each bottle like a soda stream.
Anyway, Champagne, the district in France, liked the cava from Spain & simply copyrighted the name to their area, hence why Champagne only comes from the area of France.
Cavaīs like 3 quid a bottle & taste just as nice, infact some tastes better...
& of course, we get plenty of Rioja here too
