When it comes to finding bubbly wine at bargain prices, Prosecco can’t be beat. Actually, Prosecco is a grape variety from the Veneto region of Italy and there is some of it produced as still wine, but the vast majority of it is bubbly. Here’s one that is simply awesome and it’s about $10 to boot.
Why spend $40+ on fancy Champagne when this Prosecco is sooooo good, and it’s readily available? And why buy crappy sparkling wine, when you can get this stuff for just over ten bucks? So many people get crappy, cheap sparkling wine for weddings or New Year’s parties, but I say “no more!” Seek out the Prosecco section and wow your friends with this stuff.
What I really like about this Prosecco is the slight mineral quality on the nose. You’ll also find citrus and melon aromas. On the palate it’s only lightly sparkling — “frizzante.” Crisp apple and light citrus flavors with near perfect acidity make this a pleasant sipper. And at only 10.5% abv, it’s one you can sip a little more of before you’ve had too much. This wine goes well with rich salty foods, like olives, or could be served with fresh fruit.

This stuff is just excellent. I love prosecco and usually my liquor store has a different brand than this, but I bought this tonight and had it with spaghetti and garlic toast. Very nice. Slightly bubbly but not overly pretentious. Better than sparkling water, for sure, as the description above explains. It was great for our movie night extravaganza!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this wine.
This Prosecco is my absolute favorite; not too bubbly, not too acidic, not too sweet….we call it our “Goldilocks Bubbly”…just right! Please stop writing about how wonderful it is….if too many people get hip to this, the price will inevitably go up!
Haha. Yes, let’s keep this deal a secret!
This Prosecco is delicious!
Yes it is, Susan. Very delicious.
Howdy Tim,
My name is Lt Col Mike Lamb, US Air Force, and I’m stationed at a NATO base in the south of the Netherlands. I’m responsible for the morale and recreation of the base, and recently I suggested in a blog I write that we try a blind sparkling wine tasting competition, pitting the wines from the various NATO nations against one another. The response from the community (we have 28 nations assigned here) has been remarkable (the Hungarians have been particularly boastful…who knew?). If you have the time to correspond with me and share any tips on how to execute a fun, informative event, I’d love to receive your advice. If not, I’ll just steal what advice I can from your site. Thanks for writing it and keep up the good work!
