What exactly is Freixenet Cava?

[M_aria]

I've seen the CM, so I do know that its a alcoholic drink, but what type is it exactly? Is it Champagne?
Why is it called "Freixenet Cava"?
Is it expensive?

I heard it was a sparkling wine? I may be wrong though.

I've also heard it's sparkling wine from a friend.

Cava is similar to champagne, the only differences concern the different geographical locations (Champagne is French and Cava is Spanish) and also the types of grape used.

In my country (Spain) a bottle of the Cava sponsored by Ayu cost around 30€ (40$).

30 euros...is that expensive or cheap compared to other cavas?

Wow, I was kind of wondering about it too. So...is Ayu actually featured in Spain for this product, or just in Japan?

I intended to say that the same variety of Freixenet Cava (the black bottle featured in the Japanese TV ad with Ayu) cost here around 30€... but unfortunately Ayu is NOT advertising it here.

Here in Germany you can buy Freixenet for 5 € ...

It is very sweet, but you can drink it! ;-)

I actually saw it in my fridge the other day, it turns out my parents like this particular drink ^^

However, i told them that i get to drink it now. So i'll be having a frexinet christmas.

30 euros? guess it's a mid-range price item.

Hmmm I dont usually like wine or champagne... pink zinfandel's okay if it's sweet... I'll have to try some sometime. Until then... I like grape juice just fine!
