There is something about Prosecco with its string tied top that really appeals to me. I like it much more than Champagne as the bubbles are gentle and it is just so easy to drink. It is also very versitile and can be flavoured easily, elevating a fairly cheap bottle of sparkling wine to something very special.

When I was in Germany last year I was introduced to "Elderflower Champagne" which was actually prosecco topped up with elderflower cordial. I was amazed that something so simple could make a drink taste so good. A perfect Easter drink and I definitely recommend you try it.

Nigella Lawson also recommends serving prosecco with gingerbread syrup - I can testify that this is absolutely delicious and a perfect drink for Christmas (although that's a few months off yet)!
