Is that prosecco “Spumante”?? Not a fan of Prosecco myself, too much cheap crap on the market in my opinion. Are you a fan of Prosecco in general, and could you find better sparklers for €20 elsewhere?? And heres another one for you; Whats your overall opinion on New World sparkler’s?

Kev – So sorry for the delay in posting this comment things have just been mental busy !!
We have confirmed via maurice that it is a full spumante – and I am a fan of prosecco but just the good kind. Like you mention there is a lot of very average stuff pumped into the marketplace but there are some real winners out there to. For Fizz under €20 you are talking mostly New World – New Zealand [Cloudy Bay Pelorus], Australia but with the duty on sparkling so high in Ireland that they are often just over the 20. There are some good options from the south of france and the loire valley if you are looking for something a little different.
Overall I am very pro the new world sparkler – it offers great choice and good value for money. In my experience new world sparklers at €20 are much better then any champagnes at that price

Great thanks Frank, I have normally stayed clear of NW bubbles, but I will be a bit more adventurous next time on the back of your advice.
