Prosecco

Cremant here too. Always have it when the DDs come.

Can’t stand the stuff - have several bottles kindly given to us which will benefit the Church fete’s bottle stall or raffle. I only like some champagnes too - nothing very fizzy.

I prefer the French “ Cremant “ the Alsace and Loire ones are often better than cheaper champagne.

Sorry Kim 19 no idea how this got attached to your comment!

Cartizze prosecco can definitely be lush...

I’ve liked Prosecco even before it became fashionable when our book club enjoyed some when discussing Miss Garnet’s Angel by Sally Vickers in which Prosecco features.

I enjoy the occasional glass. Usually find it decidedly refreshing and kick starts my 'occasion'. Yep.....nice....

Katie59. I well remember having my first brandy and Babycham and hoping my mother would never find out. She was totally unconcerned that I was eighteen and a half when I left school, but worried a lot about ‘what people would think if they saw me drinking’. Today medication prohibits me, but I do enjoy half a glass of very dry champagne on special occasions.

I like Prosecco, but think it is going the same way as Lambrusco and Pinot Grigio; that is, it is due to be despised.

Try Cremant if you like champagne
( think it’s the same just not produced in the champagne region). M & S sell one.
I like the more expensive Proseccos - San Leo is good - usually £10-12 per bottle but often £7.99/£8.99 when on offer in Waitrose.

To be fair, there are also some unpleasant champagnes!

I love it. Prefer champagne but that is just for special occasions in my life, I'm not Patsy from Ab Fab Aperol Spritz is a lovely Summer drink too. As I am the only one in the family who enjoys prosecco, I usually just buy the little bottles. chin-chin

I'm probably the only person in the country who has never even tasted Prosecco!

Prosecco is the fashionable generic womens drink there are much nice sparking wines available including English. Prosecco varies enormously from the simply awful to the really quite nice, many on Gransnet will remember Babycham being “the” drink, best of all Brandy and Babycham!.

Prosecco is only good in an aperol spritz.
It was being sold in every bar/restaurant in Sorrento when we were there on holiday recently.
I'm not keen on champagne either.

Agree about aperto spritz. I don’t like fizzy wine at all.

I find prosecco sickly and I think it is because the bubbles are too small. I love cava though

Prosecco varies a lot. I like some, others are not so good.

I’m not keen and prefer Champagne, but it is like all wines the better quality the better the taste IMO.
So a DOCG single grape Prosecco wine, say from the wine growing area of Treviso will taste better than a mixed grape Prosecco at around £6 from a Supermarket.

Me too BigBertha1. Always used to be cava which I still quite like. Prosecco is ok but not too much of it and I am always the driver now so stick to soft drinks on the kind of occasions that you have fizz for.

Yes, my preference too BigBerthal

I'm not keen on it as to me it doesn't have a lot of taste. We prefer a good vintage Cava but overall I'm not a great one for fizz..gives me stomach ache I prefer a good NZ sauvignon.

Given a choice, I'd opt for a pint of decent ale over prosecco any day.

I love it! But prefer champagne as it gives me a headache. ?
