yuck, yuck...maybe not?
Prosecco, 10.5% vol, £2.99
"The Prosecco vines hold a special place in Italian wine making. They grow predominately in the Trevisco province in the region of Venice. White wine pressed from the Presecco grape carries the name of the wine from which it is derived. Presecco Del Veneto is superb as an aperitif or as a compliment to fish and seafood."
The beauty of this wine is the fact that it has string rather than foil on the top. The other beauty is that it has a picture of a corkscrew on the back with the text "for the open is required a corkscrew like in the drawing".
The wine is nice a fizzy and has the aroma of the wine the department gives away free at graduation. However, it tastes even worse. Lesley describes it as "bitter, it gets worse with every mouthful".
I would tend to agree, although after the second glass i am getting used to it. It just tastes like acid. This surely goes into the worst 5 product list. However, i am getting used to it now, maybe this is not as bad as we first thought. Maybe we cast it aside too quickly. Hang on i'll take another sip...........no, we were right first time.
The other bad side is the cork. It took me five mins to extract it! I broke out into a sweat!
I would never buy this again, unless you have seriously pissed me off and i wanted to extract revenge. On second thoughts this does have a use. The next time you go to a party take a bottle of this. It costs £2.99 so is cheap, but make sure you open it when all the good stuff has gone and you are drunk enough to drink anything. You save face bringing a bottle, but escape the agonising selection at the supermarket or off license.
Recommend? No! Do not let the string entice you into the vile world of Lidl Prosecco.
