Champagne & sparkling wine:
The top deals on festive fizz
Supermarket Champagnes
Charles Lafitte

If you've got your heart set on proper Champagne, but a tight budget, it's worth checking out what the supermarkets have to offer. Do note though that at the £12 mark, you're likely to get a far better class of sparkling wine than of Champagne.

  • Top deal! Guillaume de Gand Champagne & Marquis Champagne £12.99 in-store at M&S. (Ends 17 Nov '09)
  • Charles de Cazanove Tête du Cuvée £14 (half price) in-store at Co-op. (Offer ends 2 Dec '09)
  • De Vallois Nv Champagne £14 (half-price) in-store at Tesco. (Offer ends 24 Nov '09)
  • Charles Lafitte Champagne £14.99 (half price) at Sainsbury's. (Offer valid until 17 Nov '09)


'Grande Marque' Champagne - Non Vintage
Piper Brut NV

The top Champagne houses or 'grande marques' command as much prestige as top designer fashion labels, no surprise since when it comes to Champagne many are just as keen (if not keener) to be seen with the right brand of bottle as they are to drink from it.

  • Piper Heidsieck Brut NV Champagne £17.99 at Co-op.
  • Lanson Black label £18.66 at in-store at Co-op & Somerfield.

  • Bollinger Champagne £29.98 in-store at Tesco. (Offer ends 10 Nov '09)


The tasty alternative: sparkling wines
Hardys Crest Sparkling Rose

Opt for sparkling wines, and since you're not paying such a premium for the name of the producer's region, you can often get far better quality for your money.

  • Castell Llord Cava £3.99 in-store at Netto.
  • Gran Tradicion Vintage Cava £4.99 in-store at Co-op.
  • Banrock Station Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot. £5.99 in-store at Tesco.
