It’s only 22 calories per 100ml – which is around 80 fewer calories per glass than a standard glass of Prosecco – making it a delicious, lighter alternative. It was really refreshing and had notes of fresh strawberries. Like the other drink, it had a pleasant amount of fizz and it was enjoyable to drink, even on its own. I have been incredibly touched by the joy our wines have brought to so many people in the last year, and am excited to release our new 2020 rosé vintages including a very special Prosecco rosé,” she added.

The singer launched her eponymous wine range in the UK with a southern French rosé on 28 May last year to coincide with her birthday, and in less than a year has expanded the brand to include an organic Cava, Margaret River Chardonnay, Côtes de Provence rosé, Languedoc Merlot and Gascony Sauvignon Blanc. Kylie Minogue: Aussie soap fan favourite, pop music superstar, style icon – and, since 2020, creative director of her own wine brand.And who are Kylie’s celeb competitors in this arena? Graham Norton has a prosecco. So do the Delevingne sisters. And Amy Childs, who used to be on The Only Way is Essex. Minogue’s full rosé range will be available at Harvey Nichols, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Tesco and Ocado. What’s the second reason? The second reason is that Kylie seems to take winemaking seriously. The prosecco is one of nine wines she sells, with the others including a “plush and juicy” merlot, a “layered and creamy” chardonnay and an organic brut reserva cava with “pronounced biscuity flavours”. A supermarket, celebrity wine can be one of two things- overly hyped because of the heavy marketing or, a really surprisingly good wine with plenty of hype for all the right (tasty) reasons.

But I suppose you can’t argue with success. Of course not. It also helps that this is the most perfect brand extension ever. Kylie is light and fun and bubbly, just like her wine. What could possibly be more fun than buying a bottle of Kylie Minogue fizz on a night out? I got my hands on the bottle and thought it looked like any other supermarket bubbly rose, the hearts were a lovely touch although it did make me think this might not be a great wine. I'm always apprehensive when too much effort has gone into the bottle as it sometimes is an overcompensation but nevertheless, I continued testing openminded. Christ, why? Because these people are celebrities, that’s why. They live to serve the public. And sometimes that means bottling their very essence for the enjoyment of the greater world. Oh, here we go, another celebrity with a vanity alcohol brand. Is this a vanity alcohol brand, though, or is it the nation’s favourite alcohol brand? Do say: “Kylie’s prosecco is best enjoyed with lightly spiced Asian food, such as satays, Balinese curries or pad thai noodles.”

Pop singer Kylie Minogue has secured another hit for herself, this time in the world of wine as her Prosecco rosé has become the number one brand in the UK after just 10 months, according to Neilson data. Ever since I completed my WSET Level 1 Award in Wines I've had people coming to me for my expert opinion on certain wines, and the one I'm asked the most about is a celebrity wine that people typically say surprised them. Kylie Minogue released a range of wines and the Prosecco Rose has been building up a lot of hype. The product description calls it: “An elegant sparkling Prosecco Rosé with notes of fresh strawberries, raspberries and blossom. Brightly textured and crisp palate with a refreshing citrus finish. Vegan friendly.” When opening a bottle of prosecco, remember it will behave far better and more predictably if it has been left to sit and chill for a few hours. Warmth and/or rough handling both make for an explosive cork situation, meaning more mess and waste. Fizz should go into glasses, not onto ceilings. To us, the aroma was very subtle indeed – even to the one out of three of us not suffering with flu. But it had a pleasant amount of bubbles, was gentle on the palate and tasted good. It was completely inoffensive, like the former Neighbours actress herself.

Staying in alone and meticulously researching different wines on the internet until you have achieved a reasonable level of proficiency? Sure, or that.It’s ideal for people who don’t want to feel like they’re missing out if all their friends are having the alcoholic version, perhaps because they’re the designated driver, they’re doing Dry January or trying to cut down on alcohol. The Prosecco Rosé comes from Gambellara, Italy, and is 85 percent Glera and 15 percent Pinot Nero. The first thing you notice about it is the unusual bottle, which is covered with little hearts. I like it so much I’ve turned it into a candle holder, now the drink inside is long gone. However, it might be a bit too girly for some consumers – especially with the kiss on the cork as well. According to brand owner Benchmark Drinks, Minogue recently hit her million bottle milestone, making her collection one of the fastest-growing and most successful wine brands to have launched in Britain. From here on in, keep the bottle pointed away from yourself and anyone present, especially people's faces – about a 45 degree angle is good.
