Prosecco-flavoured sweets are one of the clearest examples of the 'adult sweets' category that's grown up alongside classic pick 'n' mix over the last decade - built for grown-up gifting and novelty rather than the sweet counter.
Where the trend started
SugarSin, a specialist confectionery shop that opened in Covent Garden in 2017, is one of the clearest early examples - it sold 'gourmet confectionery for adults' built around cocktail-inspired gummies, including Prosecco and Cuba Libre flavours, alongside a pick 'n' mix wall of over 130 sweets. The brand later extended the idea with rosé wine gummies, and the format has since spread to other specialist makers.
What's actually in the flavour
Most Prosecco-flavoured sweets on the UK market today are non-alcoholic and built around a light, fruity profile - peach, green apple and subtle floral notes are the combination used by brands like Ask Mummy & Daddy and Partridges for their Prosecco Rosé and Prosecco Cocktail gummies. The flavour is evocative rather than literal; nobody is trying to replicate the actual chemistry of sparkling wine in a gummy.
What we actually stock right now
We don't currently stock Prosecco-flavoured sweets - this niche is mostly served by specialist 'adult sweets' brands rather than general confectionery wholesalers, and it isn't part of our current range.

Why have adult-only sweet ranges become popular?
