National Prosecco Day - Wednesday 13th August 2025
What is National Prosecco Day?
National Prosecco Day is an annual event that celebrates Prosecco - a sparkling wine originating from the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of Italy. Prosecco is known for its light, crisp flavour and is often enjoyed as an aperitif or in cocktails such as the popular Bellini or Aperol Spritz. The day encourages people to indulge in a glass of Prosecco, discover its various styles, and learn more about the winemaking process behind this beloved beverage.
When is National Prosecco Day?
National Prosecco Day is celebrated every year on August 13th. This date was chosen to celebrate the peak of summer - a season when the light and bubbly nature of Prosecco is particularly refreshing and enjoyable.
History of the Event
Celebrate the sparkle! National Prosecco Day was created by Riondo Prosecco - a well-known Italian Prosecco brand, and the first celebration took place in 2016. It's observed every year on 13th August and honours the global love for Prosecco - Italy’s iconic sparkling wine. Cheers to good taste and great bubbles!

Recommendation: Our Co-op Irresistible Prosecco 75cl
In Best magazine, Olly Smith recommends Co-op’s Irresistible Prosecco and said: “This gem is flying the flag for quality at under 10 quid. It's as easy as cruising around on a lilo of rose petals, gently frothy with loads of lemon and melon-style fruity refreshment. Every barbecue needs to kick off with bubbly and this is a bargain - try using white-wine glasses to maximise the aromas and fabulous flavours."
