Prosecco is described as which of the following?

• A. Heavy and sweet
• B. Light and dry
• C. Sparkling but not dry
• D. Non-alcoholic

Answer: (B)

Prosecco’s typical character is light-bodied, with crisp acidity and lively bubbles. It is a sparkling wine from northeast Italy, commonly made in Brut or Extra Dry styles. The dryness refers to the level of residual sugar; Brut Prosecco is dryest, giving a clean, refreshing finish, while Extra Dry is slightly sweeter but still not heavy. The method used to make Prosecco (often the Charmat tank method) helps preserve bright fruit and a light, refreshing mouthfeel, reinforcing its light and dry impression. So, describing Prosecco as light and dry matches the common profile most people expect. It’s not heavy and sweet, it’s not non-alcoholic, and while it is sparkling, the typical dryness is a defining trait.
