Wine merchants hold huge quantities of Prosecco in store and so supply and prices depend very much on what levels they decide to release for export.

As we run out of our favourite fizz, here's what you can drink instead  1. Champagne 
Blow the budget and stock your fridge with the ultimate sparkling wine. Top brands to look out for are Dom Pérignon, Bollinger and Krug. If you want something extra special opt for pink champagne. We recommend Laurent Perrier Rosé. 
2.  Cava
It used to be the butt of all jokes but Cava could become the drink of 2015. This Spanish tipple comes in a variety of price ranges and styles to suit all budgets. Try Tesco Cava Brut for a purse-friendly sundowner. 
3. Risesling 
This 'New World' sparkling wine is produced in the Anderson Valley in California. It's high quality but not as expensive as champagne. Try a glass of Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten available at Waitrose. 
4.  Babycham
This retro drink could be making a comeback. It's a perry, which means it's sickly sweet - one glass might be enough. 
5. Lambrini 
If you want a bottle that will leave you with change from a fiver, this could be your new drink. It's cheesy, fun and comes in Magnum sizes. You have been warned.  
Mr Cremonese said: ‘Last year’s harvest was very poor, and down by up to 50per cent in some parts, so there is a very real possibility of a global shortage.
‘We’ll find out how big the problem is in August when the brokers release their stock. At the moment we don’t know how much Prosecco they’re holding on to.
‘Because there is such a demand for Prosecco, the negociants are releasing it onto the market slowly and are taking it as an opportunity to put prices up, in some cases by 50per cent.
‘The negociants hold the power at the moment as they bought all of the stock. It might turn out that some of them have no fizz left but we’ll have to wait and see.’
Mr Cremonese told The Drinks Business magazine that grapes grown in the DOC flatlands of the Prosecco-producing region north of Venice had been worst-hit by bad weather.
He said: ‘A lot of the vines in the DOC area are newly planted and they ended up soaked - the grapes were rotten and yields were down by half in some cases.’
Prosecco replaced champagne as the world’s favourite sparkling wine in 2013, selling some 307 million bottles compared to its French equivalent’s 304 million, according to figures from the OVSE, the Italian wine observatory.
The drink overtook champagne to become the UK’s favourite sparkling wine in 2014. Sales reached £181.8million, which was almost twice that of the previous year, compared to £141.3million on Champagne.
We drank some 21 million litres of Prosecco, which was more than the combined total of Champagne at 6.5 million litres and cava at 13 million litres.
The figures were compiled by retail analysts at Kantar who highlighted the good value of Prosecco, which sold at an average of £6.49 a bottle, compared to £16.23 for Champagne.

The worst grape harvest in 50 years due to storms last year suggests production of the Italian version of champagne will be down by 15 per cent
Despite the doom and gloom emanating from Italy, Britain’s leading supermarkets are currently running promotions on Prosecco with some bottles available for less than £6.
Asda is offering a deal on Fillipo Sansovino Prosecco, which is down from £8.25 to £6, and its Spumante Extra Dry Prosecco is £5.48.
Deals at Tesco include Plaza Centro Prosecco, which is half price at £6.49. Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Conegliano Prosecco is £2.50 off at £7.50 and Morrisons Italia Prosecco is one third off at £6.59. Aldi’s Belletti Prosecco Spumante DOC is £5.29
Italy’s misfortune could be Spain’s gain for any shortage or increase in prices could drive Britons to Cava. Tesco and Aldi are selling Cava Brut for Sparkling for just £4.99, while Asda’s Freixenet Cordon Negro Cava is down from £9.75 to £7.相关的主题文章：
