Plaza prosecco

[Randomuser9876]

Hosting Christmas dinner.

Asked various people to bring different stuff.

My Aunt (who usually has decent taste and I thought trustworthy) was in charge of fizz and has turned up with
4 bottles of Plaza prosecco.

I'm fuming. It's the taste of every bad hen do and Satan's ejaculate. You get a headache within 10 mins of drinking it.

It's Christmas, I'm cooking and I want decent booze!!!

AIBU?

Yes it’s disgusting.

I’ve never heard of it or seen it in a supermarket. Know to avoid it now though.

This is why 'fizz' or 'bubbly' are such useless diminutives - in my experience, it always seems to be used as a moniker to disguise crap - I would always specify Cava, Crémant or Champagne; the problem with Prosecco is that there are so many cheap, sweet, terrible 'versions' now. It's the Lambrusco Bianco Lambrini of the 2020s!

I'd say you're being a tiny bit unreasonable but at the same time I'd have hoped she'd bring a bit of variety rather than just Prosecco. Having said that literally every Prosecco gives you a headache within a sip or two so I don't really understand why anyone drinks it anyway regardless of the make. Horrible stuff and always leaves you feeling kinda sick after less than a glass. Hope you have something nicer in the cupboard at least like maybe a nice gin or a baileys.

Totally agree.

Thought I couldn't specify Champagne as seemed grabby!! She bought some Valbonne (sp?) stuff last year which is always good.

Some prosecco is nice, it's lighter than Champagne or Cava so better for all day drinking but the cheap stuff is shocking and makes me feel so ill.

If you want something specific provide it yourself. You asked for fizz and you got fizz just not one up to your high standards

Think it's a Tesco's thing. Defo avoid!

True!! I'll say "not shit wine please" next year

It's not that bad. Just shove in some orange juice.

'The taste of every bad hen do and Santa's ejaculate' 😂😂 sorry, OP. It was worth it just for being able to start this thread and cheer me up 😂

It all tastes the same after a few glasses. Drink up and be grateful she's brought anything. Merry Christmas 🥂

Even if you say 'not shit wine' people might still get the crap stuff if they don't understand what's crap and what isn't. I think you have to specify brand or give them something else to bring that's fail safe.

Oh no. I don't drink alcohol so has no idea. I've bought a few bottles of these!!

Oh god I read it as Santa's ejaculate 😳😳😳😳

Think that is advocaat...

Or Mint Bailey's 🤮

Can you make cocktails with it?
I don't find Prosecco sweet. Asti Spumante is sweet. The Prosecco I buy isn't sweet.

Sainsbos 789 is a cheap Prosecco £6.75 that tastes great and doesn’t cause a hangover. It’s my go too. Just add orange juice for Buck’s Fizz?

Hahahaha this made me laugh, especially Santa's ejaculate!! I gave it to the guests that bought it and drank my one bottle of decent stuff

It's just so horrible. Some cheap wine is fine but I'd have to be in a desperate spot to crack open the Plaza

I like it ))))

Don't understand, or just have a different preference? I mean, maybe this aunt really likes it?

Me too 🤣

I agree. I like the 789 one and Lidl’s. I don’t mind plaza though. I must like cheap shit.

My BIL buys me this every year. Pretty sure he hates me, so this confirms it... 🤣
