Hi,
Prosecco better than Champagne and Cava?
We just try severals sparkling wine and we discover:
Carpene Malvolti Cuvee Brut (Prosecco-di-conegliano)
This light sparkling wine has a nose of green apple and white flowers. On the palate, it is nicely structured with well-defined and straightforward flavors. The mouth is dominated by green apple, followed by light vegetal hints.
In Montreal it's affordable (cheaper than Champagne)
Have you more about that?

Saying that all wine that bubbles should be comparable is like saying that all still wines should be. Prosecco is as different from Champagne as Brunello is from Beaujolis. It is a light sipping wine, that still goes well with light foods. We like all the above. Cava, however is made in the same style as Champagne, and is similar to it in many ways. It is less expensive because they (the Spanish) use easier to raise grapes, and a more economical (though the same process) method. Hope this clarifies some things for you.
