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

That’s exactly what I thought 😁

My mum is a Jen and she hates Prosecco.

steff13 · 31/08/2025 01:41

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

I dunno .. tbh I thought you’d use your own discretion to interpret

like I said upthread - someone who posts wine o clock etc on a Friday afternoon on Facebook ?

But with wine o'clock etc... most people have a clue what they're talking about.
With Prosecco Jens... not so much 😕 (in fact no one does, it seems).

An AA meeting for Ben Affleck's ex-wives?

Please let Prosecco Jens be a Nordic man who feels Italian in his soul

🤣

OP do you mean someone who posts things like ‘glass of vino with this one’ or a photo of wine with ‘aaaaaaand relax’ or ‘time for bubbles!’? Or do you just hate Prosecco and all Jens?

Sounds like you’re trying to create a new misogynist trend.

I don't think they are the ones who need AA. Maybe Al-Anon.

FortuneFaded · 31/08/2025 02:13

If you dislike these people and what they post on their own social media, why are you still following them? That isn’t being “friends”, that’s being creepy.

Prosecco Jen doesn't even sound catchy. Stop trying to make this a thing!

Same. I thought Op made a typo for jeans

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.

I suppose these women who post about

Wine o’clock on FB etc

Shouldn’t it be “Wino Wendys” not “Prosecco Jens” if it’s about women liking wine ….. ?

Anyway, people of all sorts of backgrounds and personalities like and drink Prosecco so not really sure what the point of the thread is?

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

How about Carrie Cavas

Sounds like you’re trying to create a new misogynist trend.

Yep, or at least follow one. I'm not a Prosecco fan but it's definitely a dogwhistle, even on here you get people posting on the feminist board accusing the regulars of "quaffing seccy", and bros calling the site "Prosecco Stormfront" because someone said something dismissive about men (or a man). It seems like a specifically culturally English thing though, because in other countries (well, perhaps not Wales) men drink Prosecco too - at least, the ones that can't afford champagne or sauternes do.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Bjorkdidit · 31/08/2025 03:26

Sounds like you wanted a bitch fest about women you look down on because you view them as unsophisticated due to them enjoying Prosecco with their friends.

cheesycheesy · 31/08/2025 03:38

Lovely. Another misogynistic term.

I went to a Prosecco festival once. Free ticket. I don’t like Prosecco so I had free beer instead. There was a sex imbalance in the clientele so I used the men’s toilet.

That's all I have to say about Prosecco. Except that I’ve heard a lot less excitability about alcohol from women than from men.
