But what is prosecco? Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine originally made from Glera grapes. A firm favourite amongst Brits, the drink has evolved over time from being a cheaper alternative to champagne, the main ingredient in an Aperol Spritz and when added with peach nectar, it creates a delicious Bellini cocktail. Say no more!
Aldi has rounded up its award-winning and best-selling fizz bottles which are available online and in store now, so you can celebrate the special occasion.
Organic Prosecco (£7.99, 75cl)

For a second year in a row, Aldi’s best-selling Organic Prosecco has been awarded two silver medals at the renowned Drinks Business Organic Masters. The results come at a time when the popularity of organic sparkling wines continues to grow, with a forecasted growth of 8.2% between now and 2023[1]. Sourced from the Corvezzo family’s 150-hectare estate, 30km north-east of Venice, this eco-friendly fizz boasts classic notes of ripe pear and apricot. Grown with no pesticides or herbicides in the vineyard, this delicious bubbly tipple can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a light fruity dessert.

Castellore Prosecco Frizzante (£4.99, 75cl)
