Aldi's sell-out six-litre bottle of Prosecco is coming back next week

Last year it sold out in a single day and now Aldi is bringing its incredible Methuselah of Prosecco back.

And it's so big the budget German brand has decided to send a guide to how to chill, open and pour the giant six-litre bottle.

That's the same as eight normal bottles and enough to pour 96 glasses.

It's not cheap - at £99 - but there's so much in there that works out at just £1.03 a glass.

The Prosecco itself is described as "light, fun and frothy - with notes of parma violets, ripe pear and papaya, as well as having a soft and well-balanced palate".

Those looking to get in on the action will be able to buy from the supermarket's online wine store from the 1st November - customers will be limited to one each.

Given the size of the bottle, Aldi‘s wine expert Sam Caporn offered the following tips on how to safely chill, pop and pour your Methuselah:

Step 1: Chilling your Methuselah

We all know that it’s vital to chill your bottle of bubbly before serving, but if you don‘t have the luxury of a completely empty fridge, getting your Methuselah cool can be a little trickier than your average bottle.

I’d recommend chilling your Methuselah in a large bucket filled with ice, or leaving it outside if it’s nice and cold, to get that lovely cool fizz.

Step 2: Popping the cork

Whether it’s a normal size bottle or a Methuselah – it’s important that you open the bottle safely to avoid any flying corks.

For this larger bottle, I’d say this is definitely a two-man job, so grab a pal and follow the below:

First remove the muzzle – but make sure you keep hold of the cork at all times (this is the key to avoiding any accidents)

Now its time for a little help from your friends - one of you needs to hold the base of the bottle while the other looks after the neck

Pointing away from the party of people, twist the bottle (and not the cork) until the cork gently loosens

Step 3: Pouring the Prosecco

Again this is a two man-job – so you’ll need a friend (one holding the base and one holding the neck).

The main thing is to take it slow to avoid any spills and wastage.

Some people like to pour their Methuselah into decanters – but personally I think that takes a bit of the fun (and froth) out of it!
