Prosecco, overated cheap wine

It depends which Prosecco, doesn’t it? The one I get from a local wine merchant is delicious. I can’t understand posters calling each other names! Surely we’re better than that? I also can’t understand people commenting on a thread about Prosecco when they have never tasted it......

Mindless air head here.....which one is good please? I had a more expensive one from M and S last year. It was nice.

Prosecco, cheap fizzy Italian plonk, guaranteed to make women giggly and loud fast, it’s only saving grace is that it’s cheap.

Cheers annsixty and annodomini I enjoy a glass of fizz, whether that be a nice prosecco, champagne, cava or cremont ??

Annsixty... let's clink glasses!

Well thank you for that Esspee
I can now add mindless airhead to the list of names I have been called by GN members.
The list goes on.
I won't start a list of names for some posters, it may offend?

They tend to be mindless airheads whilst the ones who go for the port are my kind of people.

Don't like fizz of any sort but have to conduct wine tastings from time to time. I can usually guess which customers are going to ask to compare the proseccos. That's not a compliment!

I'm fussy about ordinary wine but when it comes to fizz they all taste the same to me. I can only drink a small glass as fizzy drinks give me indigestion. Last year I drunk 3 glasses of Prosecco (over a few hours) and was kept awake all night so vowed not to drink it again.

Italy is the world's largest wine producer and they joke that they export all the mediocre stuff and keep the good stuff for themselves.

As in every other type of alcoholic drink, including champagne, there’s a vast difference between good Prosecco and bad Prosecco. Simple as that really.

So in answer to the OP, yes....and no.

Never tasted it. If I were to drink anything it would be a drop of brandy because at least it has beneficial factors.

I’ve only had it once, decided I never wanted to drink it again and can’t see what all the fuss is about.

Too true notanan2- a bit like voters choosing Boris, good marketing!

None for me thank you!

Cava had a moment then prosecco took over.

Good marketing

It's so gross! ?

It’s quite quaffable and doesn’t give me a hangover or upset my hiatus hernia. What’s not to like.

It is difficult to write this without sounding pretentious (!). But having spent a camping holiday in the area (north east Italy) - the good Prosecco from the producers is terrific! I also recommend it for a holiday, especially if you are driving and can stock up.

It probably depends upon which one you buy. As with champagnes, there are good ones, mediocre ones and downright horrible ones! ?

Well I like a glass of Prosecco and I do like good wine but Prosecco has a place in my drinking.

I see it like Asti Spumante when we were young.

The younger generation seem to like it.
Champagne for me.

Like notanan2 I love champagne but it’s a rare treat! In Spain I drink cava, which is so cheap over there (obvs), as it is made in the same way as champagne i.e. secondary fermentation in the bottle.

I’d never buy Prosecco as it is just cheap wine fermented in a huge vat but I would never comment if someone served it to me.

It's horrible stuff. Even if you've paid a fortune for it!
