Facebook couldn’t be logged into earlier today after millions of people updated their statuses with things like;

“The Prosecco is open! You know what that means don’t you? Christmas!”

And

“That’s me done until January now lol. Prosecco time! See you next year lol”

An estimated 48 million statuses contained the word ‘Prosecco’ in England alone between 5:00pm and 5:05pm this evening.

It has shot into first place as the most used word on Facebook pushing the phrases;

“OMG not Bowie! 2016 you shit.”

And

“Just woke up and we’re not in Europe anymore?? Wtf?”

Into second and third place respectively.
