Aldi launching six LITRE bottle of prosecco for Christmas

Running out of alcohol is every host’s worst nightmare. 

But Aldi’s latest Prosecco offering is big enough to ensure no soiree will run dry this festive season. 

The German supermarket is launching a super-sized 6litre bottle next month – giving shoppers time to stock up ahead of Christmas parties.  

The £79.99 Giotti Spumante Prosecco Methuselah is the equivalent of eight regular sized bottles and is packed with enough fizz to fill 64 glasses.

The sparkling wine is described as ‘sweet and creamy’ with flavours of tangerine, pear and lemon zest. 

The supermarket will also launch a smaller – but still substantial – 3l version of Giotti Spumante Prosecco Jeroboam, priced at £39.99.

This impressive party piece has enough to fill 20 glasses of bubbly.   

Last week the cut-price retailer revealed it would be launching its own ‘hangover-free’ Prosecco, which it says comes without the threat of a pounding headache the following day.

Its organic, extra-dry wine has hit the shelves after fellow budget chain Lidl launched a supposedly hangover-free bottle for £7.99.

Opting for Aldi’s new Prosecco will hit customers’ wallets slightly harder as their current Castellore sells for just £5.99.

But the supermarket says that its newest addition comes with lower levels of sulphite preservatives.

The chemicals are often believed to be at the root of the dehydration and disorientation that can follow a night on the town.

However some scientists claim that the sulphites have nothing to do with hangovers, with Australian expert and self-described ‘health nerd’ Gid MK saying that it’s the alcohol that causes pain.

‘Alcohol is well-known to cause any number of health issues including headaches and nausea,’ he said. 

Despite his scepticism the bottles are selling well, with 174 five-star reviews surfacing online. 

It is one of four ‘hangover-free’ wines launched as part of the supermarket’s Organic September.
