    then you'll be going for a sparkling white not a champagne (which can only be called a champagne if it comes from the correct area of France).

    Jacobs Creek do a nice sparkling white.

    Either go for the Seppelts "Fleur de Lys" or you can't go past ****atoo Ridge, it has a gorgeous colour, just a bit more special than regular champers, not too dry not too sweet and it's in the right price bracket too.

    Omni Blue is a good one.

    Grant Burge also does a nice sparkling.

    My thoughts too Feebs Ricodona ruby and white are very yummy ( and I am not a big drinker but I can and will drink this ) If you look around you can sometimes get 2 for about $25 or less ( IGA normally has them on sale quite a bit as does wollies/safeway

    Ditto what Schaz said LOL! I was just about to go on about Ruinart and how Moet is overrated LOL!

    When it comes to sparkling wine it really depends, and everyone is soooo different. Some people like dry, some sweet, rose, red...

    Fleur De Lys for sparkling white
    Koonawarra Dusk is a Strawberry Sparkling which is quite nice, not too sweet.
    Girls who like girly bubbles love Yellowglen's "Bella" which is sweet, pink and slightly lower on alcohol content.
    Trilogy is nice and they also make a blend sparkling as well, I actually like this more than others as it reminds me of champagne. (can't remember how much though...)

    Bella by Yellowglen. It's my all time Fave!!!!!!
    It was the drink of choice at my wedding too

    It's about $13-$15 a bottle... unless you buy in bulk hehe

    Yep, the pink Bella is quite nice... well priced. Last summer Liquorland had a special on gift boxed pink Bella which came with a Bloom (I think) lip balm. I stocked up and gave them to my neices as gifts... the feedback was very positive.

    Other than that the only true champagne we drink is Moet & Chandon which comes from DH's work, leftovers from functions, so I don't know how much it costs. It's French so it's probably pricey.

    If you want QUALITY, REAL champagne then you can't go past a bottle of Veuve Clicquot .

    So so insanely delicious!

    says she who is currently drinking (as in right now) a bottle of Moet (ok there is 1 glass left in the bottle)
