Some say no other beverage defines the Italian philosophy of la dolce vita, or the good life, quite like Prosecco.
It’s long been the aperitivo of choice for Italians up and down the peninsula, and has recently become a top pick for bubble-loving Americans. IWSR data found that the number of U.S. consumers who reported drinking Prosecco jumped from 33% in 2019 to 42% in 2023.
It’s not hard to understand why. As American wine lovers have been increasingly embracing sparklers as an everyday drink, the refreshing, fruity and (usually) dry style offers the flavors and textures most drinkers are seeking at a wallet-friendly price point.
But that’s not all. There are plenty of other reasons to drink the popular Italian sparkling wine. Here are 11 essential facts that will make you want to pop some (more) Prosecco.
