Best cheap xmas champagne -
- Thread starter Belloni

If you want cheap fizzy wine I'd steer clear of champagne, and plump for a bottle of Prosecco instead. With Champagne you pay a heavy markup for the name, and while good champagne is really good, cheap champagne is rarely impressive.
How much are you looking to spend?

Morrissons had a deal where Piper Heidsieck was only £12.49 a bottle. Thats damn cheap for a decent bottle.
Depends on your budget though, i had a lovely bottle called Tsarine which was only £20 in Booths

Look at their website?
I picked up 6 bottles of Taittinger for £14 a piece when Sainsbury's had a deal on last month. Not sure if the places will have these deals any more though.

Waitrose are selling Moet for £27 a bottle. I prefer Veuve Clicquot or Pol Roger myself. You ought to be able to pick up a bottle of either for £40 or a little less.
They also had Veuve at £25 which is as cheap as you will ever see it, not sure if it's still on
At that price, I'd either go for a Presecco or two bottles of decent (£9-£10) wine - one white, one red probably
I disagree, for £20 you can get a decent bottle of Champagne, particularly around this time where supermarkets are doing either Piper, Heidsieck & Co or Lanson for around £15. I think Morrissons were even doing Bollinger for £23 the other week which is a great price.
Wine can be very subjective to tastes whereas i find everyone can enjoy a glass of champagne and it feels that little more special
Is this for you to drink or to share with family/friends? You need to ask the question whether you/they will actually appreciate real champagne, which is comparatively expensive, or would enjoy a good sparkling wine, which will be far more reasonable. For Christmas this year, since it's just me, the wife and the kids, I have one bottle of DP 2002 Vintage as a treat (which is fabulous but a little out of your price range) then an embarrassing number of bottles of Hardy's Crest Sparkling Rose as a really good daily drinker (£7 from Waitrose). I actually get more enjoyment out of a good sparkling wine due to the balance of quality (they really are good these days) and price.
