When the heat rises, there’s no better way to celebrate summer’s carefree spirit than with a chilled glass of Prosecco. This Italian sparkling wine, known for its soft bubbles, floral aromas, and refreshing fruit-forward flavours, has become the go-to drink for sunny brunches, beachside picnics, and rooftop soirées. The best prosecco wines are light, festive, and offer a playful elegance that’s hard to resist.
Unlike Champagne, Prosecco is made using the Charmat method—fermented in large steel tanks instead of in-bottle—which results in a fresher, more approachable sparkling wine. It’s also more affordable, making it perfect for casual sipping or spontaneous celebrations. But don’t let the price tag fool you: high-quality Prosecco is every bit as sophisticated, with layers of crisp citrus, white flowers, and orchard fruit that come alive on the palate.
This summer, skip the heavy reds and overly sweet cocktails. Instead, reach for a bottle of bubbly that’s vibrant, versatile, and undeniably refreshing. Whether you’re hosting a Sunday brunch, clinking glasses with friends on a balcony, or just looking for a fun way to unwind after work, Prosecco is your perfect companion.
We’ve handpicked three award-winning Proseccos from the IWSA Ultimate Drinking Guide 2024—each one under ₹5,000 and guaranteed to elevate your summer celebrations. Ready to pop, pour, and party?
