Prosecco persecution?
editThe German comedy Western, "Manitou's Shoe", uses Prosecco as a running gag gay drink implying that it deserves Untouchable status from 'normal' consumers. 121.210.24.166 (talk) 04:30, 20 August 2011 (UTC) Ian Ison

Similar
edit- Grasecco [1]
- Grazzano Hugo [2] - supposedly based on Prosecco
Maybe touch upon those wines - similar in name or based on Prosecco. Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 18:09, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
Prosecco — meaning what, exactly?
editI feel that this article frequently confuses Prosecco the grape, Prosecco the DOC(G), and Prosecco the sparkling wine, and talks about the sparkling wine as if that's all there is to it. IMO, either the article needs to be restructured to clearly distinguish between the sparkling wine and the rest, or it could even be split into separate articles [Prosecco (sparkling wine)] and [Prosecco], with the latter containing much of what this article currently has, minus the sparkling wine content (other than a short mention and a 'See also' and/or 'Main article' link). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:26, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- @DoubleGrazing: I agree this article is muddled. I'm not sure that splitting it will help though - Prosecco (the town) and Prosecco (the grape) are already separate articles, which the articles should perhaps make better use of. Almost all "Prosecco" is sparkling wine, and almost all of it is from the Prosecco DOC region (and DOCG subregions) in Italy. What this article does not cover, and needs to, is the fairly important scandal created in 2009 when Italian law renamed what (up until then) was known as the "Prosecco" grape variety to "Glera", meaning that other countries growing it (most notably Australia and California) were no longer able to use the word "Prosecco" on their wine labels. This was widely viewed as a somewhat under-handed move, during the scramble to promote as many wine regions to DOC and DOCG (DOP) as possible before the 2011 EU law reform deadline. Perhaps a disambiguation page is in order, since we have a town, a wine, a grape variety (controversially) and a DOC region. Jon (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

- If Prosecco is a region, Shiraz produced there could be called Prosecco! 60.225.180.146 (talk) 03:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
