Cava (Spanish wine)
Cava ((:ˈkaβə), plural ''caves'') is a sparkling wine of ''Denominación de Origen'' (DO) status, most of which is produced in Catalonia. It may be white (''blanco'') or rosé (''rosado''). The macabeu, parellada and xarel·lo are the most popular and traditional grape varieties for producing cava.〔 Only wines produced in the champenoise traditional method may be labelled "cava"; those produced by other processes may only be called "sparkling wines" (''vinos espumosos''). About 95% of all cava is produced in the Penedès area in Catalonia, with the village of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia being home to many of Spain's largest production houses.〔 The two major producers are Codorníu and Freixenet.
In the past, cava was referred to as "Spanish champagne", which is no longer permitted under European Union law, since Champagne has Protected Geographical Status (PGS) and Spain entered the EU in 1986. Colloquially it is still called ''champán'' or ''champaña'' in Spanish or ''xampany'' in Catalan. Today it is defined by law as a "quality sparkling wine produced in a designated region" (''vino Espumoso de Calidad Producido en una Región Determinada'', VECPRD).
Cava is an important part of Catalan and Spanish family tradition and is often consumed at celebrations like baptisms, marriages, banquets, dinners and parties.
==Name==
The Catalan word ''cava'' (masculine, plural ''caves'') means "cave" or "cellar". Caves were used in the early days of cava production for the preservation or aging of wine. Catalan winemakers officially adopted the term in 1970 to distinguish their product from French champagne.〔
