Times are getting harder, but don’t let the weak economy and the gloomy weather bring you down. Toast to life, family and great friends with a bubbly that will make your wallet love you.

Priced at $11.49 (Trader Joe’s), Mionetto Prosecco Brut is a great value bubbly guaranteed to make you and your guests warm and fuzzy during these somber winter days. This sparkling wine is crisp, fresh and nicely balanced with a strong fruity bouquet and hints of pears and apples. Though delicious by itself, Mionetto pairs fabulously with light antipasti and mild cheeses.

Having a brunch party? Use Mionetto to add an extra touch of elegance to your Mimosas, Bellinis and other bubbly-based cocktails.
