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?

Cava is way nicer.

Pay for champagne cheapskates. Or if you don’t want to do that, get a nice cremant.

I really like prosecco
but not at all keen on cheeky anything

And in the childrens corner I give you unicorns sigh.....

Prosecco o clock makes my skin crawl. I love Cheese on toast but I don’t have a glittery T-shirt that says I do

Maybe I should

Yep it’s really annoying and I might start buying cava again as Prosecco has become over exposed

Pink Cava is lovely! Give me that any day!

I have just started buying my 13 year old DD size 6 PJ's (she is tall and aged ones are halfway up her legs) it was quite difficult to find ones that didn't reference drink.

I don't drink so this on a personal level has passed me by, but I do notice it everywhere.

Yes to all the people saying cava is much nicer- I’m always saying to dh how did Prosecco get to be the main drink at the moment when cava is much better.

He doesn’t really care.

And I agree that all the Prosecco and gin shite about at the moment is tacky and ridiculous. Even if it was cava related I’d agree!

@MooseHoose 😂 dreadful.

I really don't like, it's horribly sickly and gives me heartburn! Everyone seems to love it. I like champagne but only certain varieties and not glasses of the stuff. I had some Argentinean sparkling white the other week - now that was nice. Still wouldn't want my love for it emblazoned on a wash bag though!!

Love prosecco and cava. I've got some birthday cards with it or wine on. That's fine. Nothing else though.

If somebody gave me prosecco for my birthday that'd be great. But to tease me with mention of it on a card... boo!

It's just marketeers trying to come up with something that will sell I guess. It'll be out by next year.

Now what I'm really sick of - bloody unicorns!

You're right, OP, prosecco themed cards, t-shirts and other crap are absolutely everywhere, with gin themed tat coming a close second. Being seen as a giggly, girly, booze-fuelled airhead is sooooo funny...Not.

YANBU. Tastes a bit poo-like I think

I was looking in various shops yesterday for a birthday card for my sister and it seemed that most were either Prosecco or gin related. It’s all very tacky anyway, and it’s certainly not suitable for someone who’s successfully managed not to touch a drop of alcohol for 5 years after spending five months in rehab

YANBU at all this stuff makes me cringe (the tat, not the drink)

I can't stand any of the stuff with pugs in tiaras, unicorns or 'zany' wording about cupcakes, drink et al.

If you work in consumer marketing you would see that in the last few years Prosecco has been a HUGE hit among of ‘une femme certain age’
It makes perfect sense to aim cards etc at this market, including birthdays and Mother’s Day.
Personally, I think it tastes like donkey piss

I know, who gives a shit

Through work I attend a lot of tastings etc and more people like Prosecco to Champagne (Cava usually comes last). So slagging it off as a "poor woman's Champagne" just makes the person saying it look like a money obsessed snob. FYI :)

However.... those things annoy me too. Two years ago it was Gin, two year before that it was Chardonnay/Wine O'clock. Keep Calm and.... fuck off.

For anyone who wants to know, your favourite bar will soon be changing their back bar display from artisnal/flavoured gins to whiskeys, with a few rums thrown in for good measure. But that one is for the boys (apparently) so I suspect the prosecco thing will be around for another couple of years until we go back to the flavoured vodkas that we had a few years back.

I like Prosecco quite enough to enjoy drinking it, but I totally agree that all the tat is just irritating!! I buy birthday cards for maiden aunts and older female colleagues etc and I’d like to be able to get them something that makes them chuckle without referencing drinking too much... or peeing/farting when you exercise/laugh etc. I’m sure when you’re of an age where that is actually happening that it’s not really all that funny

You're right. It isn't.

You can't beat a good English sparkling...

While we're on it, what's the obsession with llamas too? They're everywhere. Apart from the fun spelling I'm lost?!

Narwhals are next.
Mark my words!

Llamas are the grown up's Unicorns
