champagne recommendations

[Bubblemonkey]

Hi

Could someone recommend a good sweet champagne at a reasonable cost? I have about £30 budget for a bottle. If not a champagne, some sort of bubbles for the morning of my wedding?

Thanks

The winner here is within your budget www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/food-reviews/g23926133/best-champagne-christmas/

I’m not a champagne connoisseur but just had a quick look at Sainsbury’s and they have a quite a few branded champagnes within your budget:

Mumm Cordon Rouge £24
Moët & Chandon £30
Heidsieck Monopole Blue £28
Tattinger £27

I haven’t looked at any other supermarkets so you may find them even cheaper elsewhere.

I can’t personally recommend any because I prefer Asti but DH likes Mumm.

The Aldi £12.99 is really nice, they do delivery if you buy 6 bottles of wine or champagne mix and match

Champagne shouldn't be sweet!!

I came here to recommend the Aldi one. Then saw it was runner up in that article too. I found it quite sweet for champers and nicer than most of the posher champagnes I've had over the years

Tattinger is lovely 😊

Mumm is a very reasonably priced champagne and it's £24 in Sainsbury's right now.
Laurent Perrier is one of my favourites and you can get it on Amazon for £29.95 now.

My favourite by far is Taittinger. Hate Moët et Chandon.

I love Lanson Black. Also though Sainsbury's do a Cremant for about £12 that's gorgeous. I've pretty much stopped buying champagne since I discovered that.

How sweet? Are we talking Asti levels of sweetness?

Champagne shouldn't be sweet as its a dry wine.

Oops ignore me - I missed the word sweet in your question and I drink dry wine/bubbles.

Depending on how sweet you could look at a demi-sec champagne.

I also missed the word "sweet". Champagne isn't sweet. You might be better with prosecco.

I love Moet and Tattinger and Bollinger. But the Aldi one is delicious, I'd buy that if I have having champagne at a party or something and needed a few bottles. If you're looking for sweet though you might be better with Prosecco

Bahahahaha Delilahbucket- cross post

You would be better to get a demi-sec champagne not a brut which is sweeter. Brut is notiably dry. Chamoagbe also comes in doux but you are unlikely yo find that easily. There are plentyvf good demi secs gor s teasonable price available. Irs not awett lije prosecvo but definitely much less dry than a brut champagne.
Try a classic champagne cocktail (sugar cube, dash or brandy - bitters if you have them and champagne top up), delicious!; A turbo pimms, (pimms made with champagne not lemonade + gin for the brave😁, probably not recommended for wedding day! ) or champagne with chambord or strawberry puree for extra special sweeter champagne treats. (Really fantastic).
For drinking straight choose a rosé as it has a softer taste so seems sweeter too (although it isnt)
If you really dont like dry drinks go for a really nice prosecco which is sweet by nature. There are some very good ones available. Ask an independent off licence.

Most of the ones recommended are not sweet.
Champagne isnt sweet, look out for Demi sec but better still just buy a sweet fizzy wine that you like-lots of American fizz is quite sweet

Chapel Down English sparkling wine is lovely and not too dry

Or Italian

Good sweet sparkling wine and go from there

Nyetimber is beautiful and English!

A little more considered than a typical champagne x

The Aldi £12 one, it is seriously amazing at that price point.

Oh just seen that you say you want sweet - Champagne isn't sweet...!

Or even

google sweet sparkling wine and go from there

There's no such thing as a 'sweet' champagne. What about Prosecco?

How about Kir Royale? Sparkling wine, eg Prosecco with blackcurrant liqueur, ( Kir). Or Bellinis - same but with peach liqueur. Most people prefer dry/off dry Champagne.
