How we test Prosecco
Our panel of WSET-trained experts and consumers tested 25 sparklers to find the very best for the festive season. All bottles were tasted blind to avoid brand bias and served chilled. We then assessed (and scored) each one on its fruity flavour profile, lively bubbles and overall drinkability, to create our list of recommendations.
Even better, the bottles below start at just £5.25, so you can stock up for a little less without compromising on quality.

Score: 82/100
In homage to the lovebirds that flock to Juliet's house in Verona, this bottle's striking label represents the messages they write on her walls. But it's what's inside that counts, and this branded Prosecco is deliciously aromatic, bursting with citrus and apple, according to testers.
The crisp, fresh flavour is a great example of Italy's popular fizz and would work a treat with canapés at parties.

How do you pick a good Prosecco?
Not sure what to look for when it comes to Prosecco? Here’s a quick recap.
Off-dry, dry, extra dry, brut and extra brut are terms referring to the sweetness of the wine, with off-dry confusingly being the sweetest, and extra brut the driest.
You’ll often find the letters DOC (designation of controlled origin) and DOCG (designation of controlled origin guaranteed) on the bottle, indicating quality and authenticity and certifying that the Prosecco has met specific quality standards and production regulations set out by Italian wine authorities.
The latter classification is more stringent and therefore means higher quality, often with a higher price tag to match. But as our taste test reveals, there are some great value DOC Proseccos to be discovered, too.
How to serve Prosecco
Prosecco is best served chilled (between 6-8C). Like all sparkling wine, it should be drunk soon after opening to enjoy the bubbles at their best. And these inexpensive Prosecco glasses are the perfect vessel.
Prosecco food pairings
Although Prosecco is often enjoyed as an aperitif, it’s also extremely versatile when it comes to food pairings. We suggest enjoying the sweeter “off-dry” and “dry” styles with the likes of afternoon tea and fruity desserts. Dry “brut” Prosecco is better with canapés, antipasti, sushi and seafood.
The verdict on the best Prosecco
The Exceptional by ASDA Prosecco Brut proved most popular with our panel and is a great price, too.
However, if you're watching the pennies, Lidl's Prosecco Spumante is even more cost-savvy, making it perfect for parties.
