to ask if you would choose sparkling wine or champagne?

[GinThief]

Need help deciding what drinks package to choose for our wedding guests.

Cast your vote for sparkling wine or champagne...

champagne will cost £13 per person more

Sparkling wine please!

Sparkling wine, cheaper and nicer imo.

£13 more PP, wine he absolutely!

As a guest I really would not care.

I was going to say whatever is on offer, but we served Lindauer to our wedding guests.

English sparkling wine (from Chapel Down in Tenterden) is really nice but rather expensive.

Waitrose often have offers on bottles of champagne for about £16 a bottle or less.

Prosecco? My local M&S had an offer on Prosecco for £8 a bottle recently.

sparkling wine proscecco tastes nicer

Sparkling wine for sure

Depends on the sparkling wine really, there's a vineyard near us & the sparkling wine from them is gorgeous & definitely on par with champagne.

I think you should go for the sparkling wine, as long as it tastes nice there is no point in spending all that extra

Sparkling wine

Depends on the wine and the champagne.

Sparkling wine, I haven't bought champagne for ages since I discovered prosecco.

Sparkling wine. Anyone who would bitch about it not being champagne could fuck off.

I agree it depends on the wine or the champers.

A cheap champagne will taste worse than a half decent sparkling wine. And vice versa really.

Could you do one small flute of champ. each for the guests for toasts and then refills with wine?

Sparkling wine.

Champagne is just sparkling wine from a specific region of France, isn't it?

We had £5 rose cava from Tesco at our wedding, people were taking whole bottles of it home at the end of the night so it can't have been that bad (I quite like it!)

Have you tasted both? Sparkling wind often as nice for lower price.

You can get lovely, vintage, fancy sparkling wine for the same price as Champagne. For no discernible reason except the name.

I think generally you can get a really nice sparkling wine for cheaper than the cheapest champagne. As long as it tastes nice I'm sure your guests won't notice what it is!

Sparkling wine is fine. I'd choose Cava over Prosecco though.

Where is my invitation ?

sparking wine for me out of the two of them

I prefer Prosecco of the two. I suspect very few guests would even know the difference when served at a wedding

Prosecco?

Neither

Red wine only for me thanks!

On behalf on my fizz drinking friends, go with the fizzy wine.

How about Cremant - the Burgundy region version of champagne, but cheaper.
Dd had her big wedding do in Burgundy and that's what we had - lots of it!

I love you all, I would choose sparkling wine too

now I just have to tell mumzilla that she can't have champagne

Oh yes - the Cremant de Bourgogne is lush! It's the closest sparkling wine I have had to champagne. Cheap over there too - but I imagine it's not so easy to come by in UK.
