THIRSTY customers are racing to get their hands on Aldi's new 'groundbreaking' Still Prosecco.
The first of its kind in the UK, shoppers can get a taste of the intriguing new beverage for under a tenner.
The bargain superstore is offering a 'fantastic alternative to other popular Italian white wines' - and shoppers can't get enough of it.
Taking the shelves by storm is Costellore Still Prosecco DOC, costing just £5.99 for 75cl.
Shaking up the wine world, the latest alcohol beverage is set to become a staple this summer.
Available in stores now, the new tipple has had the seal of approval from wine expert, Sam Caporn, who described it as 'delicious'.
This innovative wine claims to be fresh and fruity - but without any fizz.
Mistress of Wine, Sam Caporn, teased: 'This light, fresh, still Prosecco has much in common with its sparkling sibling, boasting notes of apricot, honeysuckle, ripe pear and melon with beautifully balancing lemon acidity. Delicious!'
The Italian white wine could be a game-changer over the summer months.
It's said to be refreshing and crisp, so wine lovers could see their heads turned towards the lighter refreshment as the days get hotter.
The wine guru explained: "This is made from the same grape as the sparkling wine – Glera – and as such, it has the same tasty flavours of orchard and stone fruits.
"It also makes an excellent alternative to famous northern Italian wines such as Gavi.

In particular, the Belletti Hugo Spritz has sent shockwaves through TikTok and priced at just £4.49, it's a real steal.

How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you're planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It's always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don't forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You'll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.
