Prosecco is made from the Glera grape, which you can find on occasion as a still wine.  To me, it's not remotely like Champagne other than that it is sparkling.  Asti Spumante, the real kind, is more akin to Champagne.  Asti of course is a town in northern Italy and spumante is the Italian word for sparkling (carbonated).

Now, you know the REST ..... of the story.

Oh, we the wife buys Kirkland Prosecco by the case.

I can tolerate it, but it's a bit thin and sweet for me.

That's cuz they know you won't drink all their wine if they buy the sweet crap.

Sweet wines are basically for folks who don't like wine but want to look cool.

I remember in the 1980s when women would order a "house Chablis" at bars.  It was some kind of rotgut something from somewhere other than Chablis, over oaked to mask the deficiencies to some extent.  Gallo foisted something called "Hearty Burgundy" which is a real oxymoron.  I have no clue what it really was.  And of course there was Boone's Farm, which actually still exists, somehow.

Remember the old wine ads?

"Everything's nice, with Riunite on ice, Riunite Riunite..."


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItoYhKm7MQE

And 

"It's not Champagne.  It's Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STt4Hap19fg

And "Chill a Cella!"

I remember when we started vending wine coolers at County Stadium in the early 90s.  Nobody wanted to vend it except for this one beer vendor, Steve, he's still at Miller Park now, back to beer.  He was very successful with it.  His high pitch was perfect, I can hear it now. "WHHIII-ne Kooluhs!"
First it was Seagrams, then later the trendy girl drink at the ballpark was the Bacardi slush drink.  He dominated with that too.  

I see Rose cider is a big thing now.

Bet your buddy Steve not only had a gimmick -wine coolers and a call -- but, actually got dates out of the deal, too.

The hard seltzers seem to be taking off quickly now.  I don't have any data to back that up, but just the number of people I see drinking them.

Alcohol consumption has always been "trendy".  Many younger folks like to be on the "next big thing".  Trendy stuff.

Older folks tend to have figured out what they like and don't care to change every month.

Seems like it went like this:

wine coolers --> Zima ---> hard lemonade ---> hard ciders --> random alcohol-infused water --> hard seltzer

Maybe.  It's just a theory.  But the first 2 are definitely true.

(the list above is for chicks, of course.  If I ever saw a dude drinking a Zima, I'd likely have words with that feller)
