Wine Review: Costco’s signature prosecco checks all the boxes: low price and low enough in alcohol that you won’t get sloshed easily. It’s a pleasant sparkling that even a novice wine drinker would enjoy because it’s so fruity and goes down easy. Shoppers spend too much money on sparkling wines to make mimosas. This prosecco mixes great with orange juice for only $6.99. Verdict: Highly recommended.
Wine Folly: Technically, Prosecco is a sparkling wine that originates from the Valdobbiadene region in Veneto, Italy. The wine is made with Prosecco grapes and made into wine via the Charmat sparkling method, which gives wines approximately 3 atmospheres of pressure. Most Prosecco wines are produced in a dry, brut style. However, due to the grapes’ fruity flavors of green apple, honeydew melon, pear, and honeysuckle, it usually seems sweeter than it is. Even though brut is the most popular sweetness level of Prosecco sold in the market today, you can find styles that are sweeter if you seek them out.
My Review: My roommate and I got to pop this bottle of wine in celebration of her acceptance of law school, and it was a great bottle to celebrate with! It is surprisingly good in spite of its price tag. It was quite dry, which I liked, but it was also equally refreshing somehow. I could definitely pick out the apples, but I didn't get to taste the almond.
