No one likes to hear about a product recall, especially if there's any risk of injury involved. Unfortunately, Costco has issued a notice like this for one of its sparkling wines, and anyone who has bought the item is being advised to dispose of it immediately, rather than returning it to a store. The item in question is the Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene, an in-house private label product popular for its low price point.

We recently ranked classic Italian cocktails, and the Bellini came in dead last, but it wasn't always that way. When it first appeared at Harry's Bar in Venice in the 1940s, the Bellini was light, seasonal, and full of charm - just Veronese white peach purée and prosecco. Simple, but when made with care, it worked. The problem was that it got too popular. Over time, fresh peaches were swapped for syrup, and sparkling wine quality dropped.

Prosecco was my go-to drink during university, valued for its low price and sweetness. However, my taste has evolved towards wines with more acidity and complexity.

The Kirkland Signature Prosecco is superior in taste and value, being a DOCG certified wine that proves to be a better choice than many name brands.
