    • 2008 December 27, Amy Cortese, “Italian Makers of Prosecco Seek Recognition”, in The New York Times[1], New York, N.Y.: The New York Times Company, →ISSN, →OCLC:
      With its fresh flavor, pleasing bubbles and gentle price tag — it typically sells for $10 to $20 a bottle— prosecco has gained many fans worldwide. Global sales have been growing by double-digit percentages for 10 years, to more than 150 million bottles last year. [] A host of producers elsewhere in Italy and as far away as Brazil are trying to cash in on the drink’s newfound popularity. Because prosecco is the name of a grape, like chardonnay or cabernet, anyone can use the name.

      When I was an 18-year-old concerned with getting as trollied as possible in the least amount of time and at little cost, I was drawn to sweetness, as many of us are when we’re younger, and most supermarket prosecco is rather sweet – even the confusingly named “extra dry” category allows for 12-17g sugar per litre.
