    We got a bottle of Cava Brut as part of last weekend's M&S dine-in-for-a-tenner (Ha! eat very nice chicken for half a week and build up a wine cellar, more like) - which will do fine for us, as we don't know too much about wine but we know we like it to fizz at NewYear!
  • If you don't mind about the label and are not bothered about buying a 'branded' Champagne like Moet (and you shouldn't - the quality of the contents are more important than the brand on the piece of paper stuck to the outside) then the Threshers/ Wine Rack own label non-vintage Champagne (De Brissar) is a bargain at £14.99 (the price using the 40% off voucher). Offer ends 2nd December. At full price it's £24.99.

    At the opposite end of the spectrum they also have a good Cava called Vineyard X Cava Brut for £3.59 (with voucher) which is great value. Full price it's £5.99.

    Finally, the Waitrose Cava at £5.99 is not currently on offer but it's good quality:

    Waitrose also have non vintage Duval Leroy Premier Cru Champagne on offer at £12.99 until 2nd December (reduced from £25.99)

    They had this on offer last year too and it got a good review:

    Alternatively if you want to try something different it's worth looking out for any offers on English sparkling wine like Ridgeview's Bloomsbury 2005 from Sussex. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/features/british-fizz-its-a-corker-955386.html

    Supermarket champagne (and that includes dross like Moet) is almost invariably rubbish. Not worth it at the discounted price!

  • Did anyone see Lorraine Kelly this morning??

    They did a feature on shopping for premium foods in supermarkets. Including cava and champagne, they tried all of them and the £3.99 Cava from Sainsburys came out with the nicest taste. Also in Asda the champagne was £12.99 and tasted ok.

    But the bargain was a £9.99 bottle of champagne from Aldi which they tasted and it was fine.

    Hope this helps! I'm guna go by a bottle from Aldi for sure! :)

    Martin mentions Tesco Premier Cru at £12.98 per bottle. Watch out if they have another 20% off deal as you then get the 20% off the already reduced price. I managed to get mine for £10.38 a bottle and this Tesco Premier Cru is top grade bubbly. You have to buy 6 bottles to get the deal but you can mix it up with other wine to get the six. Even without the 20% off, you will get a further 5% with a 6 bottle (mixed or all champagne) purchase. This brings it down to £12.33.

  • Morrisons to a Sparkling Rose called Griffith Park normally 6.99 but on special at moment for 5.99 a bottle. It was in all the papers last year as got voted number 7 in some big wine awards for all the best champagnes and sparkling wines in the world. I think its lovely. I don't normally do cheap wine but this ones lovely, really easy to drink. I love champagne but hate cava and cheap sparkling normally.
    Yearly Grocery Budget - £100.77/ £3500. January Treats Budget - £11.80 / £100.

    id have to disagree the Moet champagne is one of the best,
  • I can recommend the "Sainsbury's 'Taste the Difference' Vintage Cava (Spain) £4.99" We bought this for our Anniversary and were really surprised with the quality. We will be buying more for Christmas.:T
