Why is Prosecco so popular?
Did you know that the UK is second largest consumer of Prosecco, with only Italy itself in the number one spot?
Made in the north east of Italy, it is increasingly popular and a preferred choice, for many reasons. It’s light and delicate, but with a taste full of flavour. It’s comparably cheaper to Champagne and English Sparkling Wine and it’s very versatile, tasting great as an aperitif; ideal as a celebratory toast; delicious in cocktails, including the re-emerging popular cocktail Aperol Spritz… and pairing well with a wide range of foods, including not only fish, but also Asian cuisine and more spicy foods.

Party with Prosecco
Prosecco is the perfect party drink, with extra dry, as well as brut options - to suit everyone's taste. Choose your preferred combination of flavours from tangy citrus flavours, to apples and melon.
It’s ideal for toasting a special birthday, a milestone anniversary…and not forgetting Christmas parties and New Year celebrations.
Pairing Christmas Prosecco
As mentioned above, Prosecco pairs really well with lots of food combinations.
You may think of it as something to drink on its own – perhaps on Friday night after work with a group of friends! But consider opening a bottle the next time you are enjoying fish cakes, oysters, a seafood pasta dish, as well as cured Italian meats.
The sweeter Proseccos also pair fabulously with Asian dishes, including Thai and Chinese savoury and noodle dishes, as well as sushi.
Also for those with a sweet tooth, Prosecco is ideal to enjoy with chocolate (of course), macarons and popcorn.
Enjoy Prosecco this Christmas
Make sure you have a bottle or three of Prosecco added to your Christmas shopping list, this year.
Prosecco makes a luxurious Buck’s Fizz – just add a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice - the perfect way to start Christmas morning and make breakfast extra special.
A glass of this Italian fizz also tastes great with smoked salmon – a very traditional Christmas Dinner starter, as well as a favourite for a Boxing Day platter.
Finally, have you heard about our special Christmas cocktail? A velvety drink, ideal for Christmas afternoon. This year, we want everyone to try this new twist on a Kir Royale – a delicious combination of our exclusive Prosecco with the Aelder Elixir – a bramble-inspired liqueur with flavours of dark stone fruits with hints of bitter chocolate and spice. It’s ideal with a cheese board or a dark chocolate dessert.
