Delta Avissi Prosecco
I was wondering how you enjoy the Avissi Prosecco served on Delta. In Delta Comfort+ and First Class do they give you just a cup or do they give you a split?How do you like the taste?
Thanks
Thanks

I like it just fine, but I'm not a real big wine guy. I'm sure someone else can chime in. I will say I have always gotten a split, even when asking for a mimosa (good thing too BC premixed mimosas on planes are almost always way too much OJ). I did watch an FA on a CR2 pour a split between two cups and do mimosas for two C+ occupants once FWIW.

I enjoy it in a plastic cup in C+, in a glass in F. They give you the small bottle and you pour yourself, usually, in C+. In F, they usually fill the glass and give you any left in the bottle.

I witnessed a friendly argument between a French passenger and a DL FA. The passenger was very offended because she offered him Champagne and he was served Avissi.

LOL the Frencies are so particular.In all fairness though, it was dumb for an FA to say Champagne instead of Prosecco .

How can we blame them in this case ? Prosecco and Champagne are indeed two different wines, made using a different technique, from different grapes.

Whenever I'm offered some "champagne" by a FA, I always verify that it is real French champagne from the Champagne area of France. Sometimes they're still confused about the distinction.

Some Californian champagnes are absolutely competitive, though, and those are made using same grapes and techniques, only 9 times zones west of Reims.
I wouldn't object if a FA offered me "champagne" and poured a glass of Roederer Estate.
In fact, I'm not sure why Delta caters some forgettable prosecco instead of a California basic NV. How much money can they save ?

There are also some very nice white sparkling wines from Argentina.....and they're inexpensive for the quality.
