It comes in mini-bottles that I thought would be SO CUTE as favors... unfortunately we aren't allowed to have any alcohol on tables due to IN state laws.</p> <p><a href="http://www.chibrands.com/verdi_spumante.php">http://www.chibrands.com/verdi_spumante.php</a></p> <p>It's SUPER tasty!!! Very light and slightly sweet.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/italy-themed-favors#post-427876 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:31:21 +0000 Jennifer20 427876@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Does anyone know where you can find mini bottles of prosecco?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/italy-themed-favors#post-248726 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:56:07 +0000 kitten 248726@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Little bottles of chianti (in the little casks--so cute!) or little bottles of limocello are very Italian and would definitely be used! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/italy-themed-favors#post-248691 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:57:23 +0000 flamingo 248691@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Oh and I found the bottles at the grocerie store. </p> <p>We wanted mini champagne bottles at first, but they were pricey... so we went with sparkled water instead. </p> <p>But I like the olive oil idea... :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/italy-themed-favors#post-248690 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:55:16 +0000 flamingo 248690@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I am italian and we gave imported Italian Water.
