In 2016, it was reported that the UK consumed 35% of all the Prosecco produced in Italy that year. The country exports 70% of its total yield – so that means half of what leaves the country comes to these shores.
When it comes to celebrating that special event with a bit of fizz, many people immediately turn to champagne. On some occasions, that can be great, of course. However, a really good Prosecco, Cava or English sparkling white wine certainly beats a mediocre champagne in our book. And it’s usually far more affordable, too.
In recent years, the British public has become much more comfortable shopping in discount high street shops – the likes of Primark, TK Maxx and the different pound shop chains. The same can be said of doing the weekly food shop – and two of these Proseccos are from Aldi & Lidl, whose reputations for an interesting range of products and value for money are now well established.
We can personally vouch for all three of these bottles of supermarket prosecco – sampled, of course, entirely in the name of public service!
Of the trio, we enjoyed the Morrisons bottle the most; crisp and dry with a lovely pear flavour. In fact, it came top in this year’s Good Housekeeping ‘Best Prosecco’ review.
- Allini Prosecco Spumante, extra dry: £5.99, Lidl
An easy-drinking prosecco with lovely fresh pear aromas and full of fizz.
- Organic Prosecco: £7.99, Aldi (Sweetness: 1)
Pear and green apple are followed by aromas of acacia flowers and honeycomb.
Grown with no pesticides or herbicides used in the vineyard, the grapes are predominately hand picked and gently pressed to ensure only the highest quality of juice is used. The winery is also committed to using renewable energy wherever possible.
- The Best Valdobbiadene Prosecco, 75cl: £8.00, Morrisons (Sweetness: 2)
Apple blossom aromas with vibrant green apple and pear flavours.
