Cheapest champagne, cava and prosecco deals for New Year’s Eve 2020
NEW Year's Eve isn’t the same without a glass of bubbly - and we’ve rounded up the cheapest deals to help you bring in 2021.
We’ve looked at prices of champagne, cava and prosecco in all the major supermarkets to find out where you’ll get the most bubble for your pounds.
Perhaps it'll come as no surprise that Aldi was the cheapest across two types of drinks, and was in joint-first place for one alongside Lidl.
Asda came second in two categories, although Morrisons and Tesco were not far behind either.
Several supermarkets have temporarily discounted their bubbly, so it's worth comparing prices before you buy as they could change again.
Of course, price comparison doesn’t take into account the quality or taste of the alcohol.
The below prices are accurate at the time of writing and based on what each supermarket has available online.
What is the different between champagne, cava and processo?
CHAMPAGNE, cava and prosecco are all types of sparkling wine, but each one has its own taste and is made differently.
Champagne: Champagne is traditionally made in the historical province of the same name in the northeast of France.
Vinyards get the bubbles in their champagne using an ancient technique called méthode champenoise.
After the wine's first fermentation, yeast and sugar are added to the wine triggering another fermentation.
Once capped, each bottle is then left for at least 15 months and are turned regularly.
Prosecco: Prosecco is made in the Veneto region of Italy using a variety of grape called Glera.
There are two types of Prosecco, DOC and DOCG.
DOCG signifies that the Prosecco is higher quality as all the picking is done by hand due to the steep hillsides the vineyards are on.
Cava: Cava comes from Spain and uses Macabeu, Parellada, and Xarello grapes.
Chardonnay or Pinot grapes can also be used.
It is fermented in the bottle like its French counterpart, but as it is produced outside of France, its production method is referred to as méthode traditionnelle.
