|---|---|---|---|
| La Marca | 3,010,000 | 3,220,000 | +7.0% |

| Josh Cellars Prosecco | 209,000 | 246,000 | +17.6% |
These are depletions in the US market for 2022 and 2023. They show what sells, not what tastes best.
How to choose
These steps are our advice, not an agency rule.
- Buy a widely sold bottle first, then try a smaller producer to compare.
- Read the label for the sweetness word and the ABV.
- Thinking of champagne instead? See the best champagne houses.
Units in a glass
Volume: 125 ml
x ABV 11% = 13.8 ml of pure alcohol
13.8 ml / 10 ml per unit
= 1.4 UK units
The NHS advises no more than 14 units a week. Check your own bottle with our calories, sugar and units tool, the units calculator or the ABV and proof converter.
Conclusion
La Marca leads prosecco sales in the US by a wide margin, with Mionetto and Zonin next. Pick by taste and price, and keep to the NHS limit.

What are the types of prosecco?
The Prosecco DOC consortium lists four types by how much the wine sparkles. Spumante has a fine, lasting bubble and is the best known. Frizzante has a lighter, less lasting bubble. Tranquillo has no bubbles. There is also a Rose, made only as spumante.
What do brut, extra dry and dry mean on a prosecco label?
For spumante, the consortium gives these sugar levels, which is why sweet and dry bottles differ:
| Label word | Residual sugar |
|---|---|
| Brut Nature | 0 to 3 g per litre |
| Extra Brut | 0 to 6 g per litre |
| Brut | less than 12 g per litre |
| Extra Dry | 12 to 17 g per litre |
| Dry | 17 to 32 g per litre |
| Demi-sec | 32 to 50 g per litre |
Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut and Extra Dry also apply to the Rose. The consortium gives no sugar ranges for frizzante or tranquillo and describes them only as dry or sweet.
Which prosecco brands are sweet or dry?
It depends on the bottle, not the brand, so read the sweetness word on the label. In this order the sweetest is Demi-sec, then Dry, then Extra Dry, then Brut. We found no official ranking of brands by taste or quality, so we do not list a best or sweetest brand.
