Aldi’s six litre bottle of Prosecco is back but you must be quick

Lottie Casas October 24, 2019

Aldi's six litre bottle of Prosecco has returned.

The Methuselah of Prosecco will hit the shelves for the party season.

Aldi's giant bottle of bubbly sold out in just 24 hours when it went on sale last year.

So if you fancy one for Christmas, you better be quick about it.

The massive bottle holds an equivalent of eight 75cl bottles and contains a Prosecco that's light, fun and frothy.

The Prosecco also has notes of Parma violets, ripe pear and papaya.

Aldi's six litre bottle of Prosecco costs £99 and goes on sale November 1, 2019.

Here's three tips from Aldi's wine expert and Mistress of Wine Sam Capron on how to safely open your bottle if you get your hands on one.

Chilling your Methuselah

Sam said: "We all know that it’s vital to chill your bottle of bubbly before serving, but if you don‘t have the luxury of a completely empty fridge, getting your Methuselah cool can be a little trickier than your average bottle.

"I’d recommend chilling your Methuselah in a large bucket filled with ice, or leaving it outside if it’s nice and cold, to get that lovely cool fizz."

Popping the cork

She added: "Whether it’s a normal size bottle or a Methuselah – it’s important that you open the bottle safely to avoid any flying corks. For this larger bottle, I’d say this is definitely a two-man job, so grab a pal and follow the below:

"First remove the muzzle – but make sure you keep hold of the cork at all times (this is the key to avoiding any accidents)

"Now its time for a little help from your friends – one of you needs to hold the base of the bottle while the other looks after the neck

"Pointing away from the party of people, twist the bottle (and not the cork) until the cork gently loosens."

Pouring the Prosecco

Sam explained: "Again this is a two man-job – so you’ll need a friend (one holding the base and one holding the neck). The main thing is to take it slow to avoid any spills and wastage.

"Some people like to pour their Methuselah into decanters – but personally I think that takes a bit of the fun (and froth) out of it!"
