I’ve been teetotal for over ten years. Well, almost.
Sure, I’ve indulged in a glass or two on special occasions, but always in moderation.
My sobriety is so well-known that I’ve even been spotted ordering a cup of tea at a bustling bar without a hint of remorse.
However, there’s one exception I’m willing to make, particularly when New Year’s Eve rolls around.
Moscato is my go-to tipple if I feel like raising a glass to welcome 2024 on December 31. It’s a choice I heartily endorse, especially for those who, like me, find prosecco a tad too dry.
Crafted from Muscat grapes, Moscato boasts a sweeter profile with robust notes of peach and orange blossom.
Another advantage of Moscato is its typically lower alcohol content, making it an ideal choice for someone like me who only drinks occasionally.
While it may not be as effervescent as prosecco – a trait often associated with New Year celebrations – there are some fantastic sparkling variants available.
Amazon currently stocks a semi-sweet, semi-sparkling white wine Moscato, Bartenura, priced at £11.15 for a 750ml bottle.
Despite being a summer favourite, over 100 bottles have been purchased in the past month, earning numerous five-star reviews.
