Wine Education and Tips
A guide to choosing sweet and lightly sparkling wines, from someone who imports and pours Italian wine in Tokyo. From Moscato d'Asti to Prosecco, how to choose by sweetness and bubbles, plus the foods they love.
How to choose sparkling wine, explained by a pro: the difference from Champagne, production methods, reading dry vs sweet labels, picks by occasion, and how to enjoy it at the Japanese table.
The history of Prosecco, the Glera grape, and what "Millesimato" (a single vintage year) really means on the label, explained by an Italian importer from a Veneto point of view, with how to enjoy it in Japan and a bottle to start with.
