With National Prosecco day nearly a month ago now, I wanted to highlight some of my favourites and yes they are vegan! I love prosecco, it is my go to drink when we go out for a meal or in the evenings so knowing that there are vegan proseccos makes me happy. I love exploring the different flavours and varieties and it is good to know which ones are vegan / vegetarian. I wrote this before the sad news last week, but like many other people across the world I will be giving the King a cheers and the Queen a toast of thanks.

Did you know not all Prosecco is vegan or vegetarian? Unfortunately, some prosecco brands use animal products such as milk protein, fish oil or egg whites during the fining process of production. Luckily for the UK’s 1.6 million vegans, however, the rise of plant-based diets in recent years has seen the number of vegan wine options skyrocket.

The huge rise in interest around the term “vegan prosecco” has seen everyone from Aldi to M&S jump aboard the vegan bandwagon. Virgin Wines recently revealed that their sales of vegan wine have risen by 51% in just two years, selling a staggering 1,735,730 bottles of vegan wines in 2021 alone; with the growing popularity of vegan-friendly drinks options, you can now find an array of superb vegan prosecco covering all price ranges and tastes.

    I love Prosecco, this guide will come in handy for Christmas! I wish more wine makers would label their products vege/vegan, so much easier.
