About this deal

READ NEXT: The best lagers, ales, stouts, IPAs, craft beers and more The best prosecco to buy 1. La Gioiosa 63Kcal Prosecco: Best low calorie prosecco Prosecco is made using the glera grape; some types are made exclusively with this, while some producers blend it with additional grapes such as chardonnay. But all prosecco must, by law, contain at least 85 per cent glera. Why is prosecco cheaper than champagne? A shining example of Extra Dry (slightly sweeter than the Brut variety) and made from the iconic Glera grapes, this DOCG Prosecco has a beautiful fine and creamy mousse, lots of orchard fruit and delicate florals. It’s fermented for 30 days longer than legally required, which gives it a luxurious, super-rich brioche flavour more commonly found in Champagne. Oh, and it’s vegan too. While this bottle claims to be 63kcal per glass, this is actually for a slightly smaller 100ml measure. A standard measure of prosecco is typically 125ml, so the calories are a tad higher if you’re following pub rules. Nonetheless, it’s still a lighter alternative to many other proseccos and a delicious fizz in its own right.

With champagne, a still wine is fermented for a second time in the bottle to create the fizz. But with prosecco, this second fermentation usually happens in a large pressurised tank, and the wine is filtered and bottled afterwards. This is less labour-intensive and less time-consuming, which is why it can be cheaper. It also helps explain why champagne has more mature tasting flavours, while prosecco is fresh and fruity. What makes a good prosecco?
