[edit] Etymology and other origins

'Cava' is also Latin for 'cave', which may better illustrate the origin of the name; the Catalan language is heavily infuenced by Latin and cava is & was traditionally matured in caves, rather than cellars.

  • Well, it is not exactly that Catalan is "heavily influenced by Latin" but rather that, as any other Romance language, directly descends from it. English, on the other hand, and being a Germanic language, is indeed highly influenced by old French and Latin.



Also worth noting that the internal link for the Penedes wine region is to the Alt Penedes comarca. As no page exists for the (relatively famous) Penedes wine producers, I'll create one and edit the link.--mikaul 14:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
