DRINK OF THE WEEK
18th May 2026
Allini Prosecco Extra Dry
Lidl £5.29
Drinker Rating 89
Today's lesson is on Prosecco. Rather confusingly bottles labelled Extra Dry, such as this week's Drink of the Week are NOT the driest form of Prosecco, the order from driest to sweetest is as follows:
Brut Nature
Extra Brut
Brut
Extra Dry
Dry
Demi-sec
So now you know - as it happens 'extra dry is where I think most Proseccos classically should be. As in this week's wine it has just enough sweetness to lift and accentuate the wonderful peach skin character of the fizz.
This is amazing value - although the bottle looks a little naff, and very cocktailable too!
Cheers!
