12 of the best budget bottles of prosecco
Whether you’re celebrating a new job, moving house, a new year or even just getting through another working week, a glass of bubbly always goes down a treat.
Champagne might not be all that affordable, but prosecco gives us the chance to indulge more regularly. It’s fruitier and tastes just as fancy - but doesn’t break the bank.
Other differences include the grapes used: prosecco is used with Italian grapes, while Champagne can only be called that if it is made in the prestigious French region of the same name.
