Grape guide

Glera at the grocery store.

Glera is the white grape behind Prosecco. The Prosecco consortium lists Glera as the traditional variety, and a short list of other permitted grapes may be used up to 15 percent in total.

We have written our take on 18 Glera wines found on grocery shelves, each grounded in checked prices, dated shopper ratings and sourced facts.

What to expect in the glass

The consortium describes floral and fruity character, a fresh taste and a straw yellow color across the category. Most bottles are sparkling or semi-sparkling, and the labeled sweetness level, from Brut Nature through Demi-sec, tells you how dry the wine is.
