Best Prosecco for an Aperol Spritz

Updated March 2026.

The IBA Spritz already names the wine: 90 ml Prosecco, plus 60 ml Aperol and a splash of soda. It does not rank a brand. Aperol’s official US page is 11% ABV. Prosecco DOC bottles commonly print about 11% — confirm the neck. That build is about one NIAAA drink (the bubbles and the bitter share the ethanol). This is not a 2023 list of ten Proseccos.

DOC / DOCG and brut vs extra-dry change sugar, not a federal proof class. Related: Campari vs Aperol, Kirkland Prosecco.

Drink math for one IBA Spritz

Ingredient Volume Typical ABV Drinks (approx.)
Prosecco (IBA) 90 ml ~11% — read the neck ~0.56 if 11%
Aperol 60 ml 11% (US official) ~0.37
Soda Splash / 30 ml brand card 0% 0
Total IBA glass ~0.9 at those ABVs
Champagne swap 90 ml Often ~12% Slightly more — still not “Prosecco”

Four IBA Spritzes are about 3.7 drinks at 11%/11%. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Hours to buy the bottle are state law. No invented MSRP. Pour math: sparkling drinks.
