Our take
What we make of this bottle
The name on the front is a person's. Josh Cellars says Joseph Carr started the brand in 2007 to honor his father, Josh, which is how an Italian sparkling wine comes to wear a first name. The story explains the word Josh and nothing about the wine in the glass. 14 shoppers have rated it, and the average is 4.43 out of five.
The grape is Glera, and it is confirmed. In the Prosecco consortium's account, Glera is the main grape, with a small allowance for other varieties, capped at 15 percent of a blend, and the consortium's own words for the category are floral, fruity and fresh, the wine a straw yellow color. What that description leaves open is sweetness. By the same account, dryness is set not by the grape but by the sweetness term on the label, running from Brut Nature at the dry end to Demi-sec at the sweeter one. Its average, meanwhile, comes in below the median rating of 4.71 among the wines we track.
In our checks the shelf price ranged from $15.99 to $24.99, current as of August 12, 2026.
Our call: this suits the shopper who already trusts the Josh name and wants its sparkling arm, a confirmed Glera from the Prosecco zone under a brand its founder says he named for his father. Pass if scores steer you; the raters it has drawn so far place it below the middle of the rated wines we cover.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know Prosecco DOC.
Judge it as Prosecco: a Glera-led, tank-fermented sparkling wine built around freshness and fruit, not as an inexpensive imitation of bottle-fermented Champagne.
What the name means
A controlled denomination since 2009 covering specified provinces in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
How grapes grow here
The DOC crosses plains and hills in northeastern Italy; the broad designation does not identify one village or exposure.
What lies under the vines
Alluvial, clay-loam and hill soils occur across the zone; the base DOC alone is not a single-soil claim.
How large the region is
- Method
- The Martinotti–Charmat method carries out secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks to preserve fruit and floral character.
Places within the region
- Grape rule
- Glera is the base; permitted grapes may contribute up to 15%.
Getting to know Glera.
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.
Category guide
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.
