Prosecco. The reasonably priced fizz we all know and love. It’s light, refreshing and looks just as glamorous as champagne in a flute. What’s not to like? The lower alcohol level is one of the factors in its recent rise to fame, as wine drinkers look for slightly lighter, yet still flavoursome styles. Nothing it seems! Prosecco has surged in Popularity since the 2000’s and it doesn’t seem to have peaked yet. In fact, it is the best selling sparkling wine across many major UK supermarkets and sales are still increasing year on year.

With a very pale, delicate colour, it has a gentle, floral, and appley aromas, much lighter and fresher in style than Cava, and less intense than most Champagnes. On the palate, it has a delicate, apple blossom and ripe pear character, with hints of acacia honey, but primarily a fresh acidity, and lively delicacy. A Premier Estates Prosecco is made using Glera or “Prosecco” grapes exclusively. We choose not to blend our grapes with other varieties as this has a tendency to result in a different quality of wine year on year. If you are shopping for Prosecco regularly you’ll have probably noticed 'Spumante', 'Frizzante' or 'Extra Brut' terms next to the brand's name. Knowing the true meaning of these can help you choose the best bottle to suit your taste preferences.It has less calories: For those dieters among us, who deprive yourselves and reserve alcohol for ‘cheat days’, you can hold your hands up and rejoice. A flute of Prosecco contains just 80 calories or around 60 calories less than a glass of wine. See, all things enjoyed in moderation!

A If you’ve been looking online for Prosecco, you can’t fail to notice the enormous number of different brands out there. But how many of those are award winners? The answer is "precious few". Prestigious awards are very difficult to come by. Our Prosecco has won no less than 12 awards at high profile competitions such as the International Wine Challenge (IWC), the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) and the Decanter World Wine Awards over the last few years which is testament to the amount of sheer hard work put into refining our product by our wine production team. All those awards and still keenly priced too. Great Nana Untried Have only tried one as yet,some are for gifts and the rest for Christmas so cant really give a review. Vintage Prosecco is by definition richer and more concentrated, and there are also some semi-dry Prosecco wines.It’s perfect with canapés, and is very food friendly – it may struggle a little with Asian influenced canapés, but works with most. It appeals to the younger market: The lower price tag and light flavour make Prosecco an ideal choice for those who are new to sparkling wine and the younger generation who would have previously relied on cheap spirits. It’s also very easy to find in bars and restaurants. Mini Prosecco bottles aren't really a break through in the world of sparkling wine, but there are certainly a few things about our mini Prosecco bottles that set them ahead of our competitors.

Tranquillo - the rarest 1% variety because it has no bubbles at all. It is still produced from Glera grapes and in Veneto region and is hard to find outside Italy. Sparkling wine and Champagne drinking trends have changed dramatically in the last 10 years; these wines have become more accessible, and keen pricing has meant that they have become more affordable, and therefore more ‘everyday drinking’ than they used to be.
