Bottomless prosecco is a thing of dreams – until you realise just how much sugar you’ve consumed.

But don’t worry, a new ‘skinny’ version of the popular drink could be available in supermarkets by the start of next year.

The new brand, which costs £17.99, contains just 7g of sugar per litre – around half of a regular prosecco bottle.

Thomson Scott’s Skinny Prosecco contains just 7g of sugar per litre – almost half of a regular bottle. The makers are hoping to get it stocked in supermarkets across the UK after Italian restaurant chain Zizzi’s introduced it to their menu

It is made from grapes grown in the foothills of the Dolomites, Italy, is 100 per cent organic and contains just 67 calories per glass.

In comparison, bananas contain around 90 calories. 

It doesn’t have the sweeter flavour of other brands due to the makers not adding the high level of processed sugar to the sparkling wine. 

Since it was introduced to Selfridges in April this year, the vegan-friendly sparking wine proved so popular it had a waiting list for orders.

But now its producers, Thomson Scott, are attempting to get the brand stocked up and down the UK. 

Leading Italian restaurant chain, Zizzi, became the first casual dining chain to offer the sparkling drink to its customers last week.

Amanda Thomson, CEO of Thomson Scott, said: ‘Our common commitment to transparency in food and drink makes us a natural fit for the Millennial customers who want less sugar in their lives but don’t want to compromise on taste. 

‘It’s great to see another brand providing choices for what to drink as well as what to eat.’  

Thomson Scott’s Skinny Prosecco is available to buy in Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and at other other high-end stores.

Or, it can be purchased through the producers own website www.thomsonandscott.com.
