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 bulkhehe
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!
When I was in the Greek Islands last year we went to this really gorgeous private beach that had a bar and on the drinks menu it had..
Cristal - 200 euro
And then in teensy tiny print down the bottom it said "Prices quoted are per glass".
That is $390 per glass!!!!!!!!! I did wish I was rich enough to do it though...![]()

Cristal is very nice. Its all down to the size of the bubble and with Cristal its TINY (we had a bottle in July). I'm really into Ruinart atm, second to that would be Cliquot for sure (for average priced champers), but I would also prefer Pommery over Moet. Oh and my absolute fave is Belle Epoque. I have a gf and a BIL who are champagne connoisseurs so we've had a few now.
Amy its cheaper than that here hon, you'd pay less than that for an entire BOTTLE! Yes its exxy, and its something most people can't do *all* the time, but for the experience its worth it, we still have the gold box in my cupboard![]()
