Because after a good Barolo, cheap fizz will taste horrible

And that is what will longer on your palate

Whereas if you do the fizz first, the better wine will taste all the more superior by contrast

Plus, it is in the Natural Order of Wine to have fizz (cheap or otherwise) for pre dinner drinkypoos, not after dinner
