Prosecco tends to be a touch sweeter, lighter and more affordable than other sparkling wines, making it an excellent aperitif. So, to help you find the best value bubbles to stash in the fridge, the Good Housekeeping Institute put 36 bottles from the leading supermarkets through a rigorous taste test.
Even better, all the bottles below come in at under £17, so you can stock up for a little less without compromising on quality.
Score: 82/100
The prosecco DOC consortium has only allowed the production of rosé fizz as recently as 2020, and Tesco’s winning bottle is everything you’d want a blush to be. It opens with ripe summer fruits, a touch of peach and melon, and a hint of raspberry ripple ice cream.
A fantastic full-flavoured introduction to the rosy world of pink prosecco — we’ll be serving ours with fruity desserts. Cheers!
Score: 81/100
Literally translating as “joyful”, Gioiosa is here to kick start your romantic night in. Our joint best classic prosecco opens with bold pineapple and juicy peach, with mouth-watering acidity and sweetness that’s perfectly in check.
Oh-so-easy drinking, the “brut”-style means it pairs well with seafood starters and canapés.
Score: 81/100
Get the party started with Selfridges’ aromatic fizz. On the nose, you’ll be rewarded with notes of freshly cut grass, pear and melon, along with delicate honeysuckle and elderflower.
The refreshing citrus comes through on a wave of bubbles, making this a versatile wine with lots of appeal.
Score: 81/100
Aldi's prosecco is organic, making it better for the environment, while being totally delicious (and a bargain to boot!). Crunchy green apples along with peach and pear drops, burst out of the glass, with a touch of vanilla and rich spice on the finish.
Big party on the horizon? Stock up in-store, knowing it has the Good Housekeeping Institute’s seal of approval.
Score: 77/100
Building on the classic flavour profile of apple and peach, testers found this top-quality DOCG prosecco pleasingly complex with smooth, velvety bubbles. It proved a well-balanced option, with a rich, honeyed sweetness underscored by a touch of acidity.
Score: 76/100
Iceland’s offering is generous with the bubbles, and our panel enjoyed the long-lasting peachy finish. However, as it’s “extra-dry”, it’s best suited to those who prefer a sweeter style of prosecco.
Score: 74/100
Waitrose excels with this bargain bottle of fizz. Crisp green apple, melon and apricot dominate the palate, while tart lemon keeps the prosecco fresh and light. Our panel also enjoyed the long-lasting bubbles and subtle floral notes.
Score: 73/100
This prosecco comes from the superior DOCG region, so you know to expect top-tier quality.
In terms of flavour, it’s light and refreshing, with uplifting apple, grapefruit and sour pear proving a highlight. Testers thought it would be a great contender for a peach bellini.
Score: 72/100
Living up to its name, Co-op’s Irresistible prosecco scored well with our testers due to its easy-drinking nature. Quite simply a well-balanced fizz, full of creamy, sweet peach and zingy gooseberry, it’s incredibly refreshing and clean.
Score: 70/100
Surprisingly complex for a prosecco at this price, you can expect a slightly savoury note, alongside the expected stone fruit. Overall, the panel thought this was a great value fizz, offering lots of bang for your buck.
How we test prosecco
Our panel of WSET-trained experts and consumers tested 36 sparklers to find the very best. Bottles were blinded to avoid brand bias and served chilled.
After assessing each one on its fruity flavour profile, lively bubbles and overall drinkability, these are the bottles we’ll be stocking up on for 2025.

How do you pick a good prosecco?
Not sure what to look for when it comes to prosecco? Here’s a quick recap.
Off-dry, dry, extra dry, brut and extra brut are terms referring to the sweetness of the wine, with off-dry confusingly being the sweetest, and extra brut the driest.
You’ll often find the letters DOC (designation of controlled origin) and DOCG (designation of controlled origin guaranteed) on the bottle, indicating quality and authenticity and certifying that the prosecco has met specific quality standards and production regulations set out by Italian wine authorities.
The latter classification is more stringent and therefore means higher quality, often with a higher price tag to match. But as our taste test reveals, there are some great value DOC proseccos to be discovered, too.
How to serve prosecco
Prosecco is best served chilled (between 6-8C). Like all sparkling wine, it should be drunk soon after opening to enjoy the bubbles at their best. And these inexpensive prosecco glasses are the perfect vessel.
Prosecco food pairings
Although prosecco is often enjoyed as an aperitif, it’s also extremely versatile when it comes to food pairings. We suggest enjoying the sweeter “off-dry” and “dry” styles with the likes of afternoon tea and fruity desserts. Dry “brut” prosecco is better with canapés, antipasti, sushi and seafood.
The verdict on the best prosecco
Tesco Finest's Blush Prosecco proved most popular with our panel, and would work well with summer desserts. However, if you're looking for a classic option, La Gioiosa Prosecco Tradizione Brut is a beautiful bottle, and perfect for canapés.
And if you're looking for value, we'd head in-store to Aldi, to nab a bottle of the brand's Castollore Organic Prosecco, which will set you back just £6.49 – bargain!
