Thousands of bargain-hunters queuing for Lidl's £3.33-a-bottle prosecco deal are left fizzing with anger as stores sell out in minutes
Thousands of bargain-hunters left queuing for Lidl's £3.33-a-bottle prosecco deal were left fizzing with anger after many of its stores sold out in minutes.
The deal offered by the discount supermarket chain over the August Bank Holiday weekend saw punters flock to the chain's outlets early this morning.
Shoppers were forced to queue to enter stores across the country to get their hands on a case of Allini Prosecco for £20, which works out at just £3.33 a bottle.
Photographs were posted on social media showing patient customers queuing as the sun rises.
The discount will only last two days, on August 26 and 27. The bubbly usually costs £5.79 a bottle.
On its website, Lidl describes the wine as a 'fresh, pear-scented fruit and highly moreish'.
The tasting notes go on to say: 'Very versatile, either on its own or with food.
'This has the clean, pear drop aromas characteristic of good Prosecco and is light, crisp and fresh on the palate.
'A little drier than some Proseccos and very moreish.'
Brits are drinking more Prosecco than ever before - and there's no sign that our love affair with the Italian sparkling wine is ever going to end.
Last year supermarket sales leapt by 34 per cent to £356million, and we drank an amazing 40million litres of the stuff.
But it's not just the drink itself we can't get enough of. Shops and online stores are increasingly filled with Prosecco paraphernalia — everything from alcohol-filled foods to bubbly-themed clothes and homeware.
