Portion
To burn it off
Prosecco is lighter in alcohol than most wine, and it's served in a smaller glass. That's why one comes to 90 kcal.
The trouble is it goes down easily. A bottle shared between two at brunch is about three glasses each, so 270 kcal.
It's one of the lighter choices at the bar. A spritz with it is a bit more, a pint of lager a lot more.
Tips
- 1Ask for brut, it's the driest and has the least sugar.
- 2Have a glass of water between each one.
- 3Top it up with sparkling water for a longer drink.
Where it comes from
Prosecco is named after a village near Trieste in northeast Italy. In 1593 the English traveller Fynes Moryson wrote about a local wine once called Pucinum, praised by the Roman writer Pliny, and now called Prosecho. Since 2009 the grape itself has been called Glera, so Prosecco is the name of a place, not a grape.
