Not only are Sainsbury's offering a magnum bottle of Prosecco in store, it's also a Taste the Difference bottle. Guests coming round? Serve this fizz chilled with a side of nuts, hard cheese, continental meat, and salad. Or put on your chef’s hat and rustle up a creamy Dauphinoise fish pie. A splash or two of Prosecco, Champagne, or Cava can take its flavour to a new level. When opening a bottle of prosecco, remember it will behave far better and more predictably if it has been left to sit and chill for a few hours. Warmth and/or rough handling both make for an explosive cork situation, meaning more mess and waste. Fizz should go into glasses, not onto ceilings.

With your other hand, untwirl the cage fastening. Uncover your thumb, lift off the cage and replace your thumb over the cork.

From here on in, keep the bottle pointed away from yourself and anyone present, especially people's faces – about a 45 degree angle is good. Make sure you have your glasses ready and within easy reach. Then, take your bottle and remove the foil; there should be a tag or perforation line to make this easy and neat. Make big and small occasions feel even more special with a bottle of Prosecco. Sourced from trusted suppliers in Italy, you’ll love its crisp and aromatic flavour. From sweet to extra dry, we’ve got options for all tastes. With its soft pink colour, our Rose Prosecco can help elevate your dinner dates. It goes particularly well with nibbles like berries and olives. And for life’s bigger moments, pop open a bottle of sparkling wine. If you can feel the cork pushing to leave the bottle already, get a glass ready. Otherwise, with the bottle gripped in one hand, slowly pull up the cork with the other. It may be quite stiff at first – if so, alternate pulling and twisting motions – but as you go you'll start to feel the pressure from within helping you out.
