MY TOP TEN – FROM JUST £6!

-

1. FILIPPO SANSOVINO PROSECCO £6, Asda (pictured, right) THIS one wins points for its stylish label — shallow, I know, but more importantl­y what’s inside is light, fresh and extremely drinkable. A good one for Bellinis.

2. SOFFIO No. 3 £6.66 when you buy two, Majestic APPARENTLY, this is Holly Willoughby’s favourite prosecco. She’s got great taste (buds) in that case. Ripe with baked apple fruit, it’s a definite party starter.

3. PROSECCO SUPERIORE £7.49, Aldi SMARTLY dressed with a silver label, this is from the DOCG Superiore vineyards of Valdobbiad­ene. Nicely floral and citrussy.

4. M&S PROSECCO £8, Marks & Spencer THIS DOC-quality wine is one of the sweeter-tasting wines in the line-up. Those with a sweet tooth will love it, and it works a treat with a bowl of strawberri­es.

5. VALDO ORO PURO PROSECCO £9.99 on offer, Waitrose (right) ANOTHER one from the DOCG Prosecco Superiore region of Valdobbiad­ene, this is richer than many other proseccos in the range. More orchard fruit flavours with plenty of lasting froth. Just add breadstick­s.

6. CONEGLIANO PROSECCO £10, Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference IF YOU like this one, bear in mind it comes in a magnum, too, so you can get two bottles for £19. It’s another DOCG, from Conegliano, and worth the extra few quid for its cutabove fruit and freshness. 7. BONOTTO DELLE TEZZE PROSECCO DOC £10.60, Honest Grapes MOST of the wines available here are classified as Extra Dry but this one is Brut, so it has less sugar than most. Noticeably drier but still lovely and balanced, this one feels more serious. Well, as serious as prosecco can be.

8. BELE CASEL ASOLO PROSECCO £12.95, Bbr.com MY CURRENT favourite, this is a creamy, dreamy prosecco from the Asolo Prosecco DOCG. Think fresh, bright, beautifull­y balanced and almost indecently moreish. Somebody pass the antipasti now. 9. FINEST BI SOL PROSECCO £8.99, Tesco (left) MADE by one of the oldest family-owned producers in the region called Bisol. They’re 300 years old, so they know what they’re doing. With ripe pear fruits and a touch of apple blossom, it’s brilliant value. 10. CA’ MORLIN PROSECCO SUPERIORE DOCG ASOLO £13.70, Slurp (right) THIS comes from the man who first brought prosecco to the UK in the Eighties — not that he sold much back then. Happily, he stuck at it and went on to create a really smart Asolo Prosecco wine with top producer Ca’ Morlin. Gorgeous, top quality wine.

THE Knackered Mother’s Wine Club (£7.99, Macmillan), by Helen McGinn is out now.
