It isn’t reserved just for celebrations: Because Prosecco isn’t associated with extravagance, it can be enjoyed whenever you feel like it. Whether you serve it at a party with your nearest and dearest, or a glass on you own in the evening – it’s the perfect anytime treat. It reduces blood pressure: In moderation, Prosecco can improve the functioning of our blood vessels by increasing blood flow. Why is that good? Well, increased blood flow decreases both blood pressure and the likelihood of clots forming, which means you are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease and strokes. Woohoo! Frizzante - has less bubbles and they don't last for long after serving due to the short second fermentation process. It's still very popular, making up around 39% of all production. Prosecco is the perfect aperitif – and the perfect wine for lunchtime entertaining and picnics, due to its lower alcohol level. At 11% it is 1.5% lighter than Champagne, and has a fresher, more delicate style.

Prosecco is a lively, dry sparkling wine, with relatively low alcohol at 11%, which hit the UK market about 8 years ago – partly championed by M&S, who first made the general wine drinking public aware of its charm, accessibility and affordability. Prosecco is made by the Charmat method, which means the secondary fermentation, which produces the bubbles is done in a sealed tank, before bottling, rather than in the bottle itself, which is the traditional champagne method. Apart from a different style, with lighter, slightly larger bubbles, it is also a much cheaper way of producing sparkling wine.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. Prosecco is a light, fresh, fragrant sparkling wine, generally dry in style.

It contains between 12-17 grams of residual sugar per litre. Very popular and classic with balanced acidity, it’s both fruity and floral. A Absolutely! We deliver Prosecco all over the UK to wedding venues, corporate events and social gatherings of all kinds.

auld broonie i bought these as a gift as had already bought the mixed 6 case so a good buy coverinng all taste The very best Proseccos come from the DOCG areas of Conegliano-Valdobiaddene, and Colli Ascolani and it’s worth looking out for these names on the label and paying just that little bit extra for a whole lot more quality. Around 60% of all Prosecco comes from these DOCG areas. 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.The Price: There’s no denying we like to get a bargain, however, we don’t like to sacrifice on quality. The lower price point of Prosecco makes it accessible to everyone. It’s an easy solution when you wat to celebrate with friends and family but you don’t want to spend a fortune on Champagne.

However, Prosecco, the grape, was also being grown in other countries, such as Australia and Brazil, so this, in combination with the increase in sales and international success, resulted in new laws and regulations regarding production. A new area, called ‘Prosecco’ was created, and vineyard area increased by 25%. The original designated area was made a DOCG, and that is where the top quality Prosecco now comes from. The broader, wider DOC area is flatter, and the yields are higher, with many new plantings. This means that only wines grown in these areas are allowed to be labelled Prosecco. It protects against Diabetes: A study in Denmark surveyed over 70,000 people and found that seven or more glasses of wine per week lowered the risk of diabetes by 25 to 30 per cent (don't worry, that includes the one with sparkles too). A Serve this wine chilled (7-10°C) to ensure that you get the best characteristics out of the Prosecco.

What Does Prosecco Go With?

At Premier Estates Wine, our wine production experts have put a serious amount of time and effort into getting our Prosecco recipe just right, with the aim of treating all of our customers to their favourite multi award winning sparkling wine at its most perfect. For many of our customers, just the one glass at the end of the day is all that's required to help them unwind in style and they might not want to pop the cork on a full size 70cl bottle only to leave the rest in the fridge for a few days where it might lose some its exciting, just opened fizz. To this end, the team saw great value in producing a mini Prosecco bottle of 200ml, just one glass of Prosecco. Our minis contain the perfect quantity for enjoying a single, pleasurable glass of our incredibly popular sparkler with lunch, or to wind down following a tough day in the office, with supper at home. Prosecco is both a grape variety, and a wine region, in northern Italy. Over recent years, it has become known as the definitive brand name for Italian sparkling wine, arguably the most successful wine launch in recent years. Where Cava reigned supreme for the last 15 years, as the affordable alternative to Champagne, Prosecco has now taken over that mantle.

Now let's focus on sweetness. Depending on whether you like your Prosecco slightly drier or sweeter, understanding the label correctly will help you choose the right one for you.The last few years have seen major changes, and the success of Prosecco on the international market has hit the region, like a whirlwind. Until 2010, Prosecco was named after the grape variety from which it is made, and was produced in a limited DOC area. 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. Our Prosecco is a multi award winner and these awards have been presented at some of the most prestigious competitions in the wine industry. These awards have come from the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), the International Wine Challenge (IWC) and the Decanter World Wine Awards. The award recipients are decided following blind wine tastings by some of the wine industry’s most respected and experienced professional sommeliers. These highly regarded judges have deemed our Prosecco to be amongst the very best in a very competitive market and to receive accreditation at such a high level is a major achievement of which we are very proud. It’s a very encouraging result after all those hundreds of hours of research and production work carried out by our team.
