Who likes a spot of fizz at Christmas. Come on, hands up, I know we do. Christmas morning, nothing like a glass of something cold and fizzy, maybe mixed with orange juice, or maybe not!
We found this fabulous case of 6 sparklers from M&S and thought, time to get in early and lay them down ready to pop. And of course if we feel like a little early Christmas pick me up, well whose going to tell.

Okay for all you connoisseurs out there here is the low down on what you are going to guzzle down!
Bellante Sparkling Rosé
Previously called Prosecco Raboso but renamed due to Italian legislation, this is the same delightfully fresh and frothy Italian sparkling wine.
About this bottle: Its fruity flavours of pears and raspberries promise a mouthwatering, dry and crisp finish. We recently changed the bottle colour of this item from green to clear. The product itself is still your favourite Italian sparkler and remains unchanged. This is an exciting and unusual pink sparkling wine, where the Prosecco grape has been blended with a little Raboso, to give it a delicate pink hue. This gives the wine an extra fruity character and a little more richness. The wine was made in the hilly Conegliano area of the Veneto, north-east Italy, where the climate is mild and very sunny. The winemaker is Loris Bonotto.
Grape Variety: Prosecco and Raboso
Country of origin: Italy

- Prosecco La Vita
A very fresh, crisp Prosecco with light lemon and pear aromas. The flavourful palate is refreshing and perfectly balanced with a fine mousse.
About this bottle: Fabulously fashionable, Prosecco is made by pressing white grapes very delicately before proceeding with fermentation. For this wine winemaker Simone Casazza uses only Glera grapes, which are the mainstay of the Prosecco. Simone follows in the footsteps of his grandfather and brother in his passion for wine, and knows how to impart the best flavours to the bottle by using delicate contact with the wine’s fine lees.

- Bottle size: 750 ml
