Hangover free Prosecco for £7.99 from Aldi
Love a drop of Prosecco so to hear that Aldi is now selling hangover free bubbles, is exciting news.
The budget supermarket’s new Organic Prosecco is just £7.99 which contains fewer sulphite preservatives than a normal bottle of bubbly, so it’s thought that drinking it doesn’t cause such an intense hangover.

The white wine I tried was the Gavi, priced at £5.49 (75cl). Produced from the Cortese grapes grown around the town of Gavi in Italy – hence its name – this wine is described as “refreshing and aromatic boasting flavours of tangy lemon, weighty fruit and subtle waxy nuttiness”.
I found it to be as sharp and fruity as promised with a lovely subtle nutty flavoured finish that I really enjoyed – similar to sweet almond, rather than peanut. The initial two sips …
