BEST… budget buys
Morrisons The Best Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco
(11%, £9.50,
Morrisons)
Worth half as much again, this is a serious prosecco with fresh, zesty fruit from its hillside vineyards. That perky character makes it a rare food-friendly prosecco with crunchy orchard fruit and subtle floral notes. A bargain.
Contevedo Cava Brut
(11.5%, £5.49,
Aldi)
Buy lots and keep this for your New Year’s Eve celebrations. Consistently one of the best wines in Aldi, it’s clean, lemony and refreshing. And at this price you can add orange juice, peach juice, or a drop of Chambord liqueur, if you’re feeling swanky. The ultimate party fizz.
