How much sugar is in Prosecco?

On average, one standard size glass of Prosecco contains approximately 1.5g of sugar - which is around a quarter of a teaspoon. To put that into perspective, guidelines state that men should not exceed 8 teaspoons of sugar a day, whilst women should not exceed 6 teaspoons a day.

However, the sugar content of Prosecco varies widely depending on the type of Prosecco. To make it easier to estimate how much sugar there is in a particular bottle of prosecco, there are four classifications that indicate the residual sugar content that you may want to look out for. These are:

• Brut. Brut Prosecco contains around 12g per litre ( 1.5g per 125ml glass)

• Extra-Dry. Extra dry Prosecco contains between 12-17g of sugar per litre (up to around 2g per glass)

• Dry. Dry Prosecco contains between 17-32g of sugar per litre (up to 4g per glass)
Demi-Sec. Demi-Sec prosecco is the sweetest of the proseccos, which contains 32-50g of sugar per litre (up to 6.25g per glass) - Read More
