That’s 300,000 glasses Brits will be drinking a day over the three day weekend – and those figures are sales by just one supermarket.
Aldi has now cut the price of Costellore Prosecco Spumante DOC to just £4.49 from £5.75 making it more affordable for drinkers.
The supermarket described the drink as: “favoured for its delicious fruity notes of peach, apple, pear and lemon zest.
“A refreshing and aesthetically pleasing bottle of bubbles, it is perfect on its own or in a fruity bellini.”

Brits will be out enjoying the sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend as parts of the UK will see the mercury soaring as warm to 19C.
The Midlands, East Anglia, and southern areas of Wales are set to experience the sunniest spells and warmest temperatures over Sunday and Monday.
In the sunniest areas, temperatures could peak at a pleasant 19C to 20C.

How can I save on my supermarket shop?
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
