Prosecco Gate

It's come to the end of summer, we've already started to dig out our boots, winter coats and used that umbrella far too many times, but hey that's the great British weather. At least we have our summer memories right? Trips to the beach, wine in the garden you know the drill.  I'm pretty sure your summer as well as mine involved consuming copious amounts of Prosecco and if not then where have you been, what have you been doing?! Literally everywhere I've looked these past few months, homosapiens of all ages and genders have been drinking Prosecco. It's the talk of the town! I've seen it on trains in screw cap bottles, accompanying woo girls at tables donned with fireworks, in far too many Instagram stories and stacked on the shelves of Aldi in the largest bottles you have ever seen for only £23.00!! 

It now even comes in organic (yes, I've tried it) and reduced sugar versions, us British people have jumped on the Prosecco band waggon even to the point of sharing running out scare stories on Facebook!! 

 

Although this summer I've enjoyed a few glasses (bottles) of fizz myself I have to say it's not my friend when it comes to hangovers. I'm guessing there's a reason it's cheap - those bubbles seem to cause nausea, head aches and that hangover induced anxiety I often feel the day after! 

I've decided I'm changing to champagne. This year has involved a few reasons to celebrate, my upcoming wedding, turning 30, graduation and as such, I've become accustommed to champagne. Which delightfully doesn't leave me feeling like I want to face plant the sofa the next day (most of the time) but unfortunately pulls on the purse strings. But hey who says you can't enjoy a bottle of Veuve on the couch just because it's Friday!! It's cheaper from the supermarket and if all else fails, Aldi do a great version for £10!!
