Prosecco remains a top pick here at hampers.com when it comes to parties, celebrations, gifts, and most definitely Christmas! With the festive season fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to learn a little more about the nation’s favourite sparkling drink.
It's the perfect tipple to gift someone special as part of a Christmas hamper. It also makes the ideal accompaniment to whatever your gift recipient has planned over the Christmas holiday. Read on to learn more about this special Italian sparkling wine.
Why is Prosecco So Popular?
Did you know that the UK is the second largest consumer of Prosecco right below Italy? Made in the Northeast of Italy, Prosecco is increasingly popular and a preferred choice for many reasons. It’s light and delicate, but full of flavour. It’s comparably cheaper to Champagne and English Sparkling Wine and it’s very versatile.
Prosecco tastes great as an aperitif. It is ideal as a celebratory toast. Plus, it is delicious in cocktails, including the ever-popular Aperol Spritz and Passionfruit Martini.

Finally, Prosecco also pairs well with a wide range of foods, including not only fish but also Asian cuisine and spicy foods.
This means whatever your Christmas catering plans are, a bottle of Prosecco is sure to pair well. It is a great all-round drink to have.
Party With Prosecco
Prosecco is the perfect party drink. There are extra dry, as well as brut options to suit everyone's taste. Choose your preferred combination of flavours from tangy citrus flavours, to fruity apples and melon.
It’s ideal for toasting not only a special birthday, engagement, or new baby, but also for celebrating employees and colleagues at Christmas parties. It's a great drink for honouring special family and friends at festive gatherings. It's also the perfect drink for toasting at your New Year celebrations.
Pairing Christmas Food and Prosecco
As mentioned above, Prosecco pairs well with lots of food combinations. You may think of it as something to drink on its own, but it goes really well with so many of the traditional festive flavours that feature in Christmas food. Consider opening a bottle of Prosecco the next time you are enjoying fish cakes, oysters or a seafood pasta dish, as well as cured Italian meats.
A sweeter Prosecco pairs 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 perfect for enjoying with chocolate truffles, delicate macarons and gourmet popcorn - all delights featured in our range of hampers.
How to 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. This is 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. It will also go well with any Boxing Day platter or buffet. And finally, as mentioned, you can see the New Year in with a bottle of Prosecco and your favourite snacks.
