Queen Elizabeth II of England released her very own prosecco just in time for Christmas. The mini bottles are sold on her Sandringham House estate. However, due to the corona measures, she will spend the holidays in Windsor Castle and not in Sandringham.

The 95-year-old queen confirmed this week that she will be staying at Windsor Castle during the holiday season. It is the first time in thirty years that she has not traveled to her Norfolk estate. After all, the family traditionally gathers in Sandringham, the estate of the royal family, but due to the rising number of corona infections, she decided to do it differently this year. Relatives will come and visit her at Windsor Castle.
One bottle of Sandringham Prosecco contains 200 ml, just enough for one glass, and costs around £15 (or 17.79 euros). The Queen sells her prosecco in her souvenir shop at Sandringham House. The prosecco was made in Italy and has an alcohol percentage of 11%. Queen Elizabeth II also recently launched her own beer, which is made from plants and barley sourced from her estate. Water from a nearby well is also used for production.
The beer and prosecco are mainly for sale, after all, on doctor’s advice, the Queen only drinks on special occasions. She will most likely enjoy a glass of Sandringham Prosecco during the holiday season.
