LIDL’S popular magnum of Prosecco has returned to stores just in time for shoppers to toast the next round of the Euro 2020 football tournament.
The giant 1.5 litre bottle is on sale for £12.99 and contains the same amount of tipple as two normal size ones.
The German discount supermarket, which will see its home country face England on Tuesday June 29 in the last 16 of Euro 2020, started selling bottles on Thursday.
There is no set end date but Lidl said the bottles will be available while stocks last.
The Allini Prosecco Spumante Magnum comes from the vineyards of Veneto, Italy.
It has been a popular feature on Lidl’s shelves and has previously been on sale in 2017 for Christmas and as a Black Friday deal in 2018.
Richard Bampfield, Lidl’s wine expert describes the fizz as “lovely and light, with a moreish pear-scented quality.”
Most Champagne or Prosecco bottles contain about 750ml of fizz so you get double with a magnum.
It is a good deal compared with other bottles in Lidl’s wine range.
A standard 750ml bottle of Spumante Conegliano Prosecco from Lidl costs £7.49 so the magnum works out £1.99 cheaper.
You also get double the amount compared with a 750ml bottle of Comte de Senneval Champagne Brut that Lidl is selling for the same price as the Allini Prosecco Spumante at £12.99.
However, you can get a 750ml bottle of the Allini Prosecco Spumante from Lidl for £5.99 so two of these would work out cheaper at £11.98 compared with buying the magnum.
Lidl doesn’t do online delivery so you would have to visit your local store to get this deal.
