3 Affordable Champagne Alternatives 🍾

Champagne is one of my favorite beverages, but sometimes the price point can be a bit high! Luckily, there are wine regions all over the world producing sparkling wines in the Champagne Method or the Traditional Method. 🍾

Here are a few of my favorites 👇🏼

Brut Cava 🇪🇸

This sparkling wine comes from Spain and has tasting notes of citrus, almonds, and brioche. Typically you can find a bottle of cava for $10-$30. Marques de Caceres is a great and easily accessible bottle to buy.

Portuguese Espumante 🇵🇹

This wine is a bit more unique and can be harder to find, so you might need to search online. It has notes of golden apple, minimality and citrus, and typical comes from the Bairrada region in Portugal. These wines are usually around $13-$40.

Franciacorta 🇮🇹

I love Italian wines and Franciacorta is no exception. This wine comes from the Northeast of Italy and is made in the Champagne method but with longer aging requirements. It typically has notes of pear, lemon and pastry. You can find a bottle of Franciacorta for around $25-$40.
