Prosecco is a popular tipple amongst shoppers, with many supermarkets offering cheaper alternatives for their own brand of fizz.
The sparkling wine is bound to be a hit for any occasion, but can often come with a hefty price tag depending on where you purchase it.
The drink has become increasingly popular throughout the years, and now, shoppers might be able to get their hands on a cheaper bottle that tastes just as good.

We tried and tested prosecco from Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, Aldi and Sainsbury's to see which bottle of fizz was really worth it.
M&S Classics No. 17 prosecco
For a rather steep £8, this bottle of prosecco was one of the cheaper options from M&S, which doesn't exactly surprise me.
There were a range of different bottles on offer in my local store, some more expensive than others, but this was the biggest bottle I could get for less than £10.
To look at, the bottle was very snazzy and definitely more than its retail price, which is always a bonus (especially if it's a gift!)
To me, the cork just made it feel extra fancy, and I really liked the classic looking label with the red M&S branding - it just felt posh.
When I popped the cork and poured the drink, I heard the satisfying fizzing sound of the prosecco that we all know and love, revealing a smooth and appetising glass of bubbly.
I was surprised with just how easy the prosecco was to drink, it wasn't too fizzy or bitter like some, and was the perfect combination of bubbles and taste.
It wasn't dry in the slightest, and was very easy, almost too easy to drink, which is why this £8 prosecco will be getting top marks from me.
Price: £8

Valdo Garda DOC Brut
I’m not a big fan of prosecco, I have to say - but this one did go some way to convincing me that it's not all bad.
Valdo Garda DOC Brut is made mainly from Garganega grapes that are often found in Soave.
The bottle looked impressive, the rich blue colour making it look that extra bit fancy.
The drink gave a satisfying fizz when poured, but wasn’t overly so. The bubbles were delicate, giving a very smooth texture.
It held a hint of fruitiness and had a very refreshing finish. I’d definitely try it again.
Price: £7.99

Sainsbury's Conegliano Prosecco
I love a glass of Prosecco. To me, it's the perfect drink to kick off the weekend, toast a special occasion or enjoy on a night out with friends. This Sainsbury's Conegliano Prosecco has an expensive look, with its gold foil top and fancy design on the label. At £10 it's not the cheapest bottle you'll find in the supermarket, but I don't mind paying a bit extra if the taste is right.
Once I'd popped the cork and poured a glass, it fizzed up nicely with a frothy top and fast flowing bubbles. The taste was sharp and zingy, yet still delicate, with plenty of citrus flavours. It's not too sweet, so it didn't go down too quickly and I enjoyed taking my time, sipping it slowly as the bubbles fizzed around my mouth. For a special occasion, I'd certainly buy it again.
Price: £10

Aldi's Costellore Extra Dry Prosecco
I love prosecco and have had many different types over the years, including a few of Aldi's bottles.
The supermarket has a variety available depending on what taste and texture you prefer. I usually go for a fresh, fruity prosecco, but I have had Aldi's Costellore Extra Dry Prosecco on a few occasions.
I love the look of the bottle, as the dark glass and packaging paired with the orange label makes it look quite high-end - you wouldn't think it was only £5.99!
The cork popped off easily enough, and I could hear the fizz of the bubbles straight away. Once poured, there were endless bubbles for a good couple of minutes before the drink started to settle.
Despite the Aldi prosecco tasting extra dry like the label suggests, it's still full of flavour and has plenty of fizz, so it doesn't dry your mouth out like I've found with other dry proseccos.
Considering the price and the high quality look and taste of the prosecco, I think it'll be my go-to dry prosecco for a while.
Price: £5.99
