Wow your Friends and Party Guests with These 5 Cool Prosecco Facts from the CEO of a Multi-Award-Winning Wine Company!
Budge Dhariwal’s Prosecco tips for UK Prosecco Lovers
1. Don't feel guilty if you're on a low calorie diet because a glass of Prosecco has fewer calories than a glass of wine. A glass of red wine has about 125 calories and a glass of Prosecco has just around 90 calories. So, if you're watching your calorie intake but you love your wine, switch to Prosecco.
2. Drinking Prosecco gives less risk of waking with a hangover. Of course there are limitations here! The fact is that sparkling wines are much less likely to leave you with a hangover after a few glasses. It’s lower in alcohol than most still wines but the bubbles give the feeling of decadence in bucket loads!

3. Not all Prosecco is sparkling. There are 3 different types of fizz for Prosecco: Spumante, which is the most fizzy, Frizzante, which has more a gentle fizz and Tranquillo, which has no fizz at all.
4. Bellini cocktails were originally made with Prosecco. Although a lot of wine bars and restaurant recipes have Champagne as the main fizz in a Bellini, these well loved cocktails were originally made with Prosecco.
5. Prosecco is cheaper than Champagne, but definitely not inferior. The production process of Champagne is more complex with fermentation happening in the bottle whereas Prosecco is made with a different and more cost effective method. This doesn't mean that Prosecco is an inferior product to Champagne, it's just a lot easier to produce. Many wine drinkers who are not wild about Champagne, and in fact many dedicated Champagne drinkers, would say that Prosecco has a broader appeal due to its lightness and fruitiness when compared with traditional Champagnes.

Multi-Award-Winning Wine Company Owner Budge Dhariwal says that Prosecco is a genuine rival to Champagne with Prosecco outselling Champagne and officially becoming the world's favourite sparkler.
Why is Premier Estates Prosecco different from other brands?
''Our Prosecco is made exclusively with the very best glera grapes ensuring it's of the highest quality possible. The qualities of a Prosecco brand depend upon where the grapes used to make it are grown. Some cheaper brands also blend in other grape varieties to introduce required taste and bouquets where poor quality grapes have been used, which could be due to a bad harvest. The Premier Estates Prosecco has won 8 separate awards for quality, including a Silver medal at the International Wines and Spirits Competition. This is a very prestigious award of which we are immensely proud and which demonstrates our expertise in the growing, harvesting and production process of our incredibly popular Sparkler,'' says Budge.
The Prosecco is a favourite of UK celebrities being cited as 'unreal prosecco' by the likes of Charlotte Crosby.
Budge began to think about how he could do things differently and realised that if he had a great product that was really good value that you couldn’t buy in the big supermarkets, not only could he compete, but he could also keep his customers happy and, more importantly, loyal.
He began by jumping on cheap flights all over Europe and just walking into major vineries and asking what they could do for him. After a lot of strange looks and a few language problems, a few of them understood what he was trying to do and were only too happy to help.
Budge managed to convince them that there was a huge market in the UK for an independent wine brand and kept beating them down on the price and up on the quality. After quite some time spent tweaking the wine blends until he was happy, the first bottle of Premier Estates Wine rolled off the production line.
Premier Estates Prosecco DOC Millesimato is made using Glera grapes from Valdobbiadene in the Veneto region of North Eastern Italy, thereby ensuring the highest possible quality of prosecco. It has a pale straw colour with hints of honeysuckle, citrus, pear and apple, aromatic with a hint of sweetness and a fine delicate finish. One box contains 6 bottles of sparkling wine.
The Prosecco is not just for special occasions. ''At the price point of only £7.99 per bottle for this multi-award-winning Sparkler, it is a drink for any occasion. With free delivery on all orders, our Prosecco is a quality sparkler at a very affordable price point. It can be ordered from the comfort of your sofa with the click of a button, making this a great drink for any occasion.''
Budge believes in delivering Award-Winning-Wines at great prices. ''Delighting your guests has never been easier,'' he says.
