(Refinery29) - British drinkers don't just like Prosecco - they really like it. In 2015, the Italian sparkling wine overtook Champagne to become the UK's favourite fizzy tipple. Last year, a supermarket chain even sought to cash in on our penchant for Prosecco by launching a range of festive tea bags mimicking its refreshing flavour.

 

But now one wine writer has claimed the UK's Prosecco habit is misguided. Apparently, we should all be sipping a different (and rather fancier) Italian sparkling wine instead. Nick Passmore of Forbes argues that Prosecco is a "boring, one-dimensional wine that’s currently enjoying considerable vogue because it’s possessed of one attribute, and one attribute only: bubbles."
