I'd take a £10 Prosecco over a £30 Champagne

More often than not I'm disappointed with Champagne whereas I'm generally happy with Prosecco.

Of course, the more expensive drink will no doubt feel more of an occassion for Hogmanay

Waitrose are selling Duval-Leroy for under £15. It's pretty decent!

I believe Waitrose own lable to be supplied by Heidsieck, so good value there

also noticed last night my local Tesco had Heidsieck on special less the £15/bottle from memory

If you are down Lidl their Prosecco at £5.99 a bottle isn't a bad drop either.

We did this - went down the local wine shop and had a few bottles delicious Prosecco last night (as I remember it - see the hangover thread). From time to time I'll buy an interesting (expensive ) champagne, but avoid the stuff that features in Supermarket offers as it's usually utter rubbish.

I quite like Carpentier Brut for £12 in Tesco

Just cracking open a bottle of Bouvet sparkling Saumur.


Feck me it's good - and only £8.49 a bottle. Looks the part too.
