Sick of Prosecco Cards/quotes

[le42]

... I know Prosecco is nice but really is it that nice?

On Mother's Day more than half the cards seemed to relate to Prosecco / wine.... clothes have messages about Prosecco on, gifts.... it's just a bit overkill.

Prosecco - overrated - thoughts?

Yeah it's stupid. Let's all joke about drinking too much wine

I’m tempted to cover a whole room of my house in that sort of tat but a bit concerned visitors might think I actually like them...

totally agree

all seems pointless to me and as im teetotal i dont "get" it really

ive passed up so many pajamas ive fancied as its got some alcohol quote on it

I had about 4 birthday cards joking about pissing yourself as you get older. I just laughed. But not too hard. ☺️

Oh god yes! I was thinking just this today when I was at a yoga class and the woman beside me had a water bottle which said on it “probably Prosecco” - hilarious

Totally overrated, Give me a nice Viognier any day.

I get the bus opposite a Sweaty Betty and they always have a t-shirt that says something like : no pain no champagne or I only respond to Prosecco - as if to say look how fun I am! 🙄 I don't know why I find it so irritating

I've only ever been able to see it as a poor man's champagne.

I loathe the stuff and don’t understand the obsession it’s just a poor mans champagne (I don’t very much like champagne either so I’m not being snobby)

I like the drink. But not enough to want cards and tat about it around the house.

Re the Mother's Day cards... was also annoying that they were implying the only
way mums cope is by drinking huge amounts of wine .... just seems like a strange message to be giving out on a day celebrating mums 🤨

I seem to get cards with pithy gin jokes on them... because apparently my whole purpose in life is to wait for ‘gin o’clock’ .

I quite like a nice dry Prosecco, but agree that because of its popularity, the quality is now inconsistent. I don’t want tote bags, wall art or cushions with it written on though.

I was on Zoopla the other day and someone had spelled out PROSECCO on their wall with those wooden letters. Absolutely horrific. Same goes for stuff about gin. You’d have to be pretty dull to think ‘prosecco-o’clock!’ is worth putting on a tote bag, surely.

I know, it’s so annoying!

‘This house runs on love, laughter and Prosecco’

‘I’d rather be drinking prosecco’

‘Coffee keeps me going til it’s time to drink prosecco’

..... etc. Snore.

I can't stand the drink or the tat, the first because I'm a philastine, the second because I have taste

It's just a money spinner.

Like 2 years ago, every card, bag, T-shirt, baby's bib was "Keep Calm and -- "Eat Cupcakes" "Drink Cappuchino" "Eat Chocolate" "Drink Prosecco" (oops where did that come from).

The joke wore very very thin, very very quickly

Someone bought me a make up bag with 'il be there in a prosecco' it's a great size and shape but I feel like a total bellend using it.

YANBU it's revolting stuff I have no idea why it's so bloody popular!!

Champagne lambrini... absolute shite.

I like prosecco as much as the next person, but it's basically just Italian cava. Cava seems to be out of fashion just now, for no obvious reason

Boring isn't it? It used to all be gin. I hope the next phase is Tennants Super - stick that on your yoga bag!

Give me some Nasty Asti instead any day 😂

It's just another bandwagon people have climbed on and I am fed up with it as well, it's all over the place.

Yep this. ^ Very tedious!

@le42

YANBU. It's basically cheap fizzy piss. Way overrated, and this generation's asti spumante. Basically a fizzy wine that people started drink to convince themselves they were middle class and/or quirky.

The whole prosecco phase/fad is boring and a bit laughable now. If someone bought me something daft and cheesy with 'stay calm, drink prosecco' or something similar emblazoned on it, I would give it to a charity shop. I'd be too embarrassed to wear it.

It's definitely a certain type of woman who is obsessed with prosecco.
