I could explain but I think all you wise ladies of mumsnet know what I mean !!

There's not that much of a prosecco drinking culture amongst Dutch, Danish or Norwegian men in my experience

Summerbay23 · 31/08/2025 07:35

I had no clue what this was either, maybe I’m not one of the wise ones on mumsnet.

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 31/08/2025 07:32

I've never heard this expression but now I know what you mean.

Er, I really don't give it much thought.

There's much worse behaviour than posting on Facebook about how you're having/looking forward to having a glass of wine.

Oh I read the op as prosecco jeans, was curious as to what style of jeans that might be. Silly me

Same here!

The only reason I enjoyed this thread 😂brilliant, well done!

Agree with most posters that you sound like you just want to sneer at other women. Not cool.

And please God don't let 'Prosecco Jen' be the next 'Karen'.

🙄

I think the point of this thread is OP trying to make it a thing.

RampantIvy · 31/08/2025 06:43

I can beat that.

The Huddersfield station cat, who has thousands of followers on Facebook always posts about pub o'clock on Friday afternoons (well his slave owner does) 😁

Sugarnspicenallthingsnaice · 31/08/2025 06:40

If we're talking about the 'wine o'clock', 'mummy's little helper' type posts - can't say I look down on or dislike women who post them but I don't relate. Most people like a drink or two, no need to make it part of your identity, online or otherwise.

FarFarAwayTrain · 31/08/2025 04:58

Yes EXACTLY!!! You’ve nailed it !

Glass of vino with this one !!

So you hate all Jens? That is harsh. What about Juniper? or Wren?

Pipsquiggle · 31/08/2025 06:36

Never heard this term being used. Ever.
It isn't a thing so let's not pretend to perpetuate it.
I hate derogatory terms centred around female names - never happens to men.

The fucking patriarchy

Createausername1970 · 31/08/2025 06:36

Woodpecker Rebecca

That rhymes (ish) - maybe that will catch on.

ThePoshUns · 31/08/2025 06:33

Are you trying to start something?

myplace · 31/08/2025 06:31

I love aste spumante! We still have it at Christmas.

PermanentTemporary · 31/08/2025 06:25

Even though I hate the stuff, am suddenly feeling nostalgic for Asti Spumante.

HelenaWaiting · 31/08/2025 06:21

I think you've missed the mark, OP. Prosecco Pauline, Prosecco Penny maybe? Always go with alliteration if you want it to catch on.

Comedycook · 31/08/2025 06:21

I know exactly the type you mean op.

Awww prosecco o'clock hunnies....wot r we lyk hey?!

My hubby is my world

AnnoyedAsAllHeck · 31/08/2025 06:13

Sandiega · 31/08/2025 02:25

Absinthe Abigails never caught on either. God knows I tried.

Viola Vodka was also a bust, though I tried!

Whiskey Walt and Bourbon Bradley would probably catch on better.

Sincerely,
Champagne Cathy

Mumtobabyhavoc · 31/08/2025 05:20

I like prosecco.
I also like the name Jen.
But, yeah, wine o'clock etc is a bit dated.
I'd wonder if "Jen" was an alcoholic, tbh.

I often post about having made a cafe latte, typically iced with accompanying pic. Please don't start a thread about me. 😀

Oh no, the latte Louises have turned up…

SmurfnoffIce · 31/08/2025 06:03

I can just about tolerate Prosecco Jens. However, I know two women called Emma who drink Prosecco and I hate both of them like poison.

Wine o'Clock is about a million years old. It's at the back of the MN cellar, just past Clutches Pearls, turn left at Naice Ham.

Brilliant.

I like to imagine it as a club consisting solely of Ben Affleck 's ex-wives.

😂😂😂😂

RitaFromThePitCanteen · 31/08/2025 05:53

Why specifically Jen, though?
