Not every bottle with bubbles is Champagne. In short: Champagne comes only from France’s Champagne region and gets its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle; Prosecco is Italian, made from the Glera grape with the second fermentation in tanks, so it’s lighter and fruitier; Cava is Spanish and made like Champagne. All are around 11–12.5% ABV. At 5mara, Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut costs 74 JOD, while Prosecco and Cava start far lower.

Local tip: JR Sparkling is made by Jordan River, Jordan’s own winery – great value for a celebration. Bottles labelled Ice (J.P. Chenet Ice, Veuve du Vernay Ice) are designed to be served over ice cubes.
Brut, Extra Dry, Demi-Sec: the sweetness scale
- Brut Nature / Extra Brut: bone dry, under 3–6 g of sugar per litre.
- Brut: dry, under 12 g/l – the most common style for Champagne.
- Extra Dry: confusingly, a little sweeter than Brut (12–17 g/l) – common for Prosecco.
- Dry (Sec), Demi-Sec and Doux: increasingly sweet, for desserts.
How to serve bubbles
- Temperature: 6–10 °C – twenty minutes in an ice bucket with water and ice does the job.
- Opening: tilt the bottle to 45°, hold the cork firmly and turn the bottle, not the cork, for a gentle sigh rather than a pop.
- Glass: a flute, or a tulip-shaped white wine glass for more aroma.
- Servings: a 750 ml bottle pours about six 125 ml glasses.
