Saw a thing on This Morning about best champagnes.
They had this to say about an Asda one:
Asda Champagne Brut £10.67 STAR RATING: * * * *
Bold citrus, apple and peach flavours with a touch of honey. Good acidity and length with pleasant yeast and nutty notes.
Don't forget you gte 10% off if you buy 6 bottles, too.0 -

After doing extensive research for my wedding in back in August (:D), I found that Asda champagne was by far the nicest.
Ok so it's not vintage veuve but for a tenner a bottle it's lovely

If this is a money saving board, then why are you all so happy about paying £10 upwards for Champagne when you could buy a sparkling wine for well under this amount. Champagne is purely a geographical name and not some mysterious guarantee of quality.
Most new world fizz is made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay just like champagne. Try Lindauer special select (majestic £6.74) or Green Point which is Moet & Chandons Australian winery (£8.99 majestic) both of these will knock spots off the supermarket champers in purely flavour terms. Okay so you don't get the name Champagne on the label but wine is for drinking not reading, so lose the snobbery and start saving ££££££££'s.
This doesn't by the way mean that all fizz is better value than champagne just that the top end fizzies are better by miles than the bottom end champers, I tasted the Sainsburys champers last week and it would of been a bad wine at £3.99 from anywhere in the world.0 -
Best I could find was £9.99 a bottle of champagne with free delivery.

I have to say, although I can tolerate (get me
) champagne on occasions - by far my preference for a celebratory tipple of fizziness is Asda Cava.
I doubt I'd like anything better, even really pricey stuff. (And I do have sensitive taste buds - I'm a sensory benchmark panelist for a well known food manufacturer :rolleyes: )
It's currently £2.72 a bottle, with 10% off if you buy 6 bottles. Not champagne - but in a champagne style bottle with a great taste.0 -
Sorry guys, you can skimp on wine, but champagne is not just champagne. If you want to splash out on champagne then you really should buy something decent and that really does mean a good bottle of Bollinger. If you want fizzy wine, that is fine, but DO NOT buy cheap champagne, you are better off buying cheap fizzy wine.
Just my opinion, but I've had loads of practise!!0 -
I might be wrong, but i'm sure I saw Champagne in M&S for £9.99 a bottle. According to their website Oudinot Champagne Bru is £69.99 for 6 bottles, so the price might have been correct.
Can anyone else confirm - I saw it in Newton Mearns, Glasgow at the tills...Waddle you do eh?0 -
Its either a good champagne (only named because the grapes are grown in the champagne area of France) or cava!! Obviously no comparison in price!!ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷0

Whilst I agree that good sparkling can beat the bottom end champagnes, there is no doubt in my mind (and I have tasted a lot) that real champagne has that indefinable quality that sparkling just cannot compete with. Maybe its the soil or the air in France, who knows ? However you do not have to pay the earth to find a good champagne, if you read up on it first. For example, Tesco's non-vintage premier cru champagne came top in a blind tasting at a premier wine award recently, beating top names like Taittinger etc. Follow the link for details:smegster wrote:If this is a money saving board, then why are you all so happy about paying £10 upwards for Champagne when you could buy a sparkling wine for well under this amount.
