Best Pink Prosecco: Montresor Prosecco Spumante Rosé Millesimato - Extra Dry

Rosé? Brilliant. Fizz? Also brilliant. Rosé prosecco? Best of both worlds. With its delicious strawberry flavours and citrus tones, Montresor slips down very easily - blink and the whole bottle is gone! It looks beautiful in the glass and feels beautiful in the mouth: if you’re looking for something pretty that gets you bang for your buck, you can’t go wrong with this bottle!

ABV: 11%
Size: 750 ml
Find it here: £9.99 (on offer from £10.89)

Best Organic Prosecco: Pianeta Organico Organic Prosecco D.O.C. Treviso- Extra Dry

With notes of green apple, pear and citrus -  this bottle is perfectly balanced and excellent value for money. The grapes used are organic and it’s produced without chemicals, a process that’s supposed to steer you away from those awful bubbly hangovers (yay!). A big winner amongst prosecco fans (and prosecco haters) - Aldi has done it again!

ABV: 11.5%
Size: 750 ml
Find it here: £7.49 (on offer from £7.99)

Best Celebrity Prosecco: Kylie Minogue Prosecco Rosé

I’m sure you’re wondering why this isn’t under best bottle design, and trust me it was a really  strong contender. Tiny hearts on a prosecco bottle? Now that’s dedication to style…

With the release of yet another wine, it seems there’s nothing Kylie Minogue hasn’t decided to create (rosé, cava, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, prosecco…). Her massively successful collection has led to this crisp prosecco rosé chock full of strawberry and raspberry flavours. Who knows what Ms Minogue will make next? Perhaps a champagne...?

Best Brut Prosecco: Mionetto Prosecco

If a sparkling wine is labelled as ‘Brut’ rather than ‘Extra Dry’ or ‘Dry’, it means it’s a much drier wine containing less residual sugar. This is great for those who like some bubbly but aren’t really into sweet wines. Mionetto is a classic pick, with light notes of peach, pear and citrus that go down well on any occasion. The lingering fizziness and dry finish makes Mionetto a tasty and great value choice for a mimosa.

ABV: 11%
Size: 750 ml
Find it here: £8.00

Best Bottle Design: Freixenet Prosecco

Another popular pick, Freixenet’s iconic bottle is one you’ve definitely pointed out on the shelves. The cut glass finish makes this prosecco stand out from the rest, but it’s what is inside the bottle that really counts. The green apple, citrus and honey flavours jump out on the palette and the elegant lightness makes it extremely drinkable. Despite being the largest producers of Cava, it seems Freixenet’s standout bottle design and zingy flavour have made this prosecco their funkiest product yet.

ABV: 11%
Size: 750 ml
Find it here: £10.00

Best Extra Dry Prosecco: Giusti Rosalia Prosecco Treviso Extra Dry

One of our favourites on the list, this Extra Dry has a beautiful light golden colour and offers a perfectly balanced level of sweetness and acidity. Giusti carries the usual orchard and citrus notes of a prosecco, albeit with a hint of honey on the finish. Wonderfully pleasant to sip and a great affordable fizz, when it comes to Extra Dry - Giusti is there for you.

ABV: 11%
Size: 750 ml
Find it here: £15.00

Best Frizzante Prosecco: Giol Prosecco Treviso Frizzante Organic

A Frizzante prosecco has a gentler fizz to its counterparts, more of a semi-sparkling wine. The fizz is so little that most Frizzantes are stopped only by a regular cork and a piece of string, rather than a full crown cap. The subtle bubbles make for an interesting change from the usual carbonation of a prosecco, and Giol’s citrus and pear flavours give it a wonderful fresh taste. Another organic wine (yay for our non-existent, eco-friendly hangovers), Giol Frizzante is a great value entry into semi-sparkling wines.

ABV: 11%
Size: 750 ml
Find it here: £12.00

Top Pink Proseccos £10 and under

Words by Helena Nicklin

It’s official. Prosecco now comes in pink! Thanks to a change in the laws that govern winemaking in the protected region of Prosecco in Northeastern Italy, winemakers are now able to use up to 15% of the red grape Pinot Nero (Italian for Pinot Noir) in their Prosecco wines along with the famous Glera grape. Pink sparklers have always been found around the Veneto, but now, as long as a wine is produced with Glera and Pinot Nero (with a few other geeky regulations), it can officially be called Prosecco. Aldi was the first to market with their Costellore and now, the other supermarkets are following suit. It’s going to be a new bubbles trend, so watch this space! The great thing about Prosecco is that at around 11% abv, it's easy enough to drink alone but also goes with most food - and the pink ones are fabulous with fruit puds and cold cuts too. Hot off the (wine) press, here’s a look at the UK’s first-ever Pink Proseccos to hit the shelves...

Prosecco Rosé, Brut: M&S

A Brut style, so drier than some, this is a fun, fruity fizz with notes of wild strawberry, cherry and a dry finish. A sophisticated sparkler worth the extra pound or two.

ABV: 11%
Size: 75cl
Find it here: Case of 6 normally £60 currently £48

Corte Molino Prosecco Rosé, Extra Dry: Co-op.

Raspberry ripple pink with ripe, summer berry fruit and pear flavours. Flirty and frothy, this is very soft, fairly sweet and goes down far too easily. 

ABV: 11%
Size: 75cl
Find it here: £8.50

Prosecco Rosé, Fillipo Sansovino, Extra Dry: ASDA

This pretty pink is all about strawberries and cream with lots of soft bubbles. Not as refreshing as some on the finish, but the choice for those who like their fizz a little sweeter. 

ABV: 11%
Size: 75cl
Find it here: £6.50

Prosecco Rosé, Extra Dry: SPAR

Pale rose petal pink and delicate, this is a crisp, refreshing Prosecco that’s well balanced. Excellent value for money and one that everyone will most likely enjoy.

Size: 75cl
Find it in store: £8.99

Rosé Prosecco, Extra Dry: Lidl

In this rather striking cut glass bottle, this pale pink Prosecco is more savoury than you would expect from an Extra Dry. Simple and raspberry-scented with a subtle smokiness on the nose.

ABV: 11%
Size: 75cl
Find it here: £6.49

Costellore Pink Prosecco, Extra Dry: Aldi

A slightly darker pink and more meaty, this Prosecco is packed with very ripe red fruit but also, a subtle note of struck-match, which might split the judges. 

ABV: 11%
Size: 75cl
Find it here: £6.49

Splash Out! Prosecco Rosé, il Fresco Brut: Villa Sandi

Ok, it’s not under £10 but it’s definitely worth a mention. Brut in style, so drier than most of the others, this sparkler is a real step up in terms of texture and flavour, with notes of caramelized pear and raspberry purée. Beautifully presented, this one could also take some heftier dishes too, such as pork or poultry. Roast chicken with all the trimmings, anyone?

ABV: 11%
Size: 75cl
Find it here: £14.99
