If your biggest champagne problem is that you literally cannot afford champagne, then hi, you're in the right place. I believe everyone deserves to feel swanky without spending their entire paycheck on a single bottle of bubbly. That's why affordable sparkling wines exist, and why I rounded up 10 of the best brands on the market, right here for you.
Just so we're all on the same page, you should know that buying less expensive champagne does not mean you're sacrificing deliciousness. (And FYI, when I say "champagne" here, I'm talking about all types of sparkling wine, from prosecco to cava.) Spoiler alert: you might even find that you're equally, if not more, satisfied with the bottles on this list—which are all under $30—than the $300 stuff. You still get the bite of the bubbles, the splash of fruity flavor, and the hint of acidity that you know and love in a good glass of champagne...the only difference is that you can actually afford more than one bottle!
So, the next time you're looking to celebrate a special occasion (New Year's Eve, perhaps?), find a unique pairing for your romantic dinner, or just feel a little buzz on a Tuesday night, consult this list for some fab sparkling vino that won't break the bank or your spirit. Read on for 10 genuinely good cheap champagne brands—bottoms up, baby!
One look at the color of this bottle and you'll realize this isn't your ordinary sparkling rosé. It's a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Ugni Blanc, which gives it a flavor of ripe strawberries and white cherries. It's also made in Mexico, which is a major hotspot for wine right now (for real, it's popping off).
You may not be related to the Coppolas (bummer), but you can sip this extra-dry sparkler from the notable family's vineyard. It features notes of crisp (with a capital C) apple, citrus, and white peach.
This green goddess from Mionetto is the perfect affordable bottle to help wash down just about any kind of snack spread. It's an ideal wine pairing for a long, boozy dinner with friends...and the hangover won't be as bad because it's made with organic practices.
Wine Spectator awarded this rosé an impressive 92 points, so you're basically staring at sparkling wine stardom here. It's been described as "toasty" and "complex," so run, don't walk, to try it out for yourself.
This crisp, full-bodied Brut from New Mexico—who knew?—is a favorite of those in the know...aka Wine Spectator and Tasting Panel, who both grade it in the low 90s (out of 100), which is a v impressive rating for the price.
This reliable pick from Northern California is a crisp blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with notes of tart apple and citrus. It also makes a great host gift, because, well, it's gorge.
This bottle may be the prettiest thing you'll ever purchase, with a price tag your bank account won't mind. With its grandeur exterior, this Italian sparkler will also give your taste buds a refined flavor of mixed berries. It's also just so pink and cute!
For a bottle that stands out (in a good way) from other sparkling wines, reach for this unique Grüner Veltliner from Austria. Its bubbles are fine (perfect for those who don't love too much carbonation) and its flavor is mellow—but intriguing—thanks to delightful peppery notes (trust me, it's not as weird as it sounds).
Damn near every liquor store (and grocery store, depending on your state) in this country will have this bottle on their shelves, and there's a reason for that. People love it for many reasons: It's affordable, that baby blue label is super chic, and the crisp and clean flavor can't be beat.
Juve Y Camps wines are regularly served at banquets for Spain’s royal family. One sip of this smooth, slightly herbaceous cav, and you'll understand why. Should you host a dinner and pretend all your guests are royalty? Def.
