To this comment, Lexi replied, "Yes good point! But that is less common for Prosecco specifically since it's almost always made using the tank method."

Another person joked: "The best Prosecco hack is to put it back on the shelf and pick up a bottle of Champagne instead."

Lexi regularly shares videos from stores showcasing affordable bottles of wine and sparkling wines, including regular visits to US store Trader Joe's.
