Marks and Spencer fans stock up on 'dangerously delicious' £12 Christmas drink that rivals champagne ahead of Christmas

Ahead of Christmas, Marks and Spencer fans are stocking up on a £12 alcoholic drink which they're calling 'dangerously delicious'. The budget M&S £12 pink prosecco has a near-perfect five-star rating, and has been flooded with glowing reviews, with several customers calling it 'easy to drink'.

Prosecco is massively popular as a sparkling wine and for good reason, it's got a reasonable price point as well as a flavour profile that goes down a treat. It comes in a classic white wine finish or for those who are fond of strawberry notes there are also a range of rose proseccos on the market.

M&S have a hugely popular bottle of rose prosecco and at the moment it's available with £12 off when you buy a case of six. The M&S Prosecco Rosé is a 2020 vintage hailing from the Veneto region in northern Italy.

It's made from Glera, the famous prosecco grape which typically has notes of apple, pear and blossom, but has also been mixed with Pinot Noir for colour. Pinot Noir is famously one of the three main champagne varietals and brings flavours of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry.

With a dry finish you don't have to worry about this being too sweet and shoppers who have tried it insist that it's refreshing without being overpowering. While prosecco is popular it's not made in the traditional method which can cause it to lack some softness that champagne and cava drinkers are fond of, the strawberry notes bring extra depth to the drink
