A deal offered by discount supermarket chain Lidl over August Bank Holiday weekend has gone viral.
The shop is selling its own brand Allini Prosecco for £20 a case, which works out at just £3.33 a bottle.
But the discount will only last two days, on August 26 and 27.
The bubbly usually costs £5.79 a bottle, meaning Prosecco lovers are saving 50 per cent with the one-off deal.
On its website, Lidl describes the wine as a ‘fresh, pear-scented fruit and highly moreish’.
The tasting notes go on to say: ‘Very versatile, either on its own or with food.
‘This has the clean, pear drop aromas characteristic of good Prosecco and is light, crisp and fresh on the palate.
‘A little drier than some Proseccos and very moreish.’
Fans of the Italian bubbly have flocked to social media to celebrate the offer, with one thankful mother hailing the deal a ‘school holiday survival kit’.
Another Twitter user said the discount was ‘the only reason I’m looking forward to the Bank Holiday weekend’.
A third added: ‘Bargain of the century’.

Brits are drinking more Prosecco than ever before – and there’s no sign that our love affair with the Italian sparkling wine is ever going to end.
Last year supermarket sales leapt by 34 per cent to £356million, and we drank an amazing 40million litres of the stuff.
But it’s not just the drink itself we can’t get enough of. Shops and online stores are increasingly filled with Prosecco paraphernalia — everything from alcohol-filled foods to bubbly-themed clothes and homeware.
