Contained within a gleaming silver-tone bottle, this effervescent tipple is the perfect way to add some fizz to celebrations – whether the occasion is big or small, break out the glass flutes, pop the cork and let the bubbles flow.

Gorgeous Prosecco. Not sweet but not too dry, just right. The cork has Vera Wang's name on the top and the wire holding it in place has her initials on the small tab for opening it. I bought two bottles and enjoyed the quality of the Prosecco so much that I have bought another two bottles since. Lovely as a gift if you could bear to part with it.
