Diet prosecco has arrived in pubs across the capital - just in time for summer.
The Gancia Leggero - ‘Light prosecco’ – has 75 per cent less sugar than normal prosecco and contains just 65 calories per glass.
Despite being lower in calories than most sparkling wines, Gancia Leggero still has the same alcohol content of 11.5 per cent.
The new fizzy drink is being introduced in 18 pubs around London, including venues in the City of London, Islington, Mayfair and Camden.
Stonegate Pub Company assured its customers that the “guilt-free bubbles” are the “closest you’ll get to clean drinking”.
The announcement comes just months after it was revealed prosecco-drinkers face higher prices in the wake of Brexit.
The Wine, Spirit and Trade Association warned in February that prices of prosecco and champagne could be set to soar due to a “triple whammy” of Brexit, inflation and alcohol duty.
