Best champagne ...cheap

[jennistarr1]

We gave a New Years party with like 15 people... will probably buy 4 bottles so 10$ range. Something sweet and drinkable but now sickening sweet and fake

And not Verdi, please

Do you have a Trader Joe’s? Go there and ask them for a rec. They usually have good options.

[AHappierHour]

The big bottles of Cooks. I think when you buy 4 the are usually $8 per bottle.

Or Korbel is around $10.

And get Brut.

[makncheez]

I like Friexenet and can usually find it for around $10 a bottle.

[scribellesam]

I like Ruffino prosecco, you can find it for around $12/bottle when it’s on sale. Nice and crisp, not sweet.

[calle28]

I like Martini & Rossi as well as Wycliff Brut. Both under $10.

[sparty04]

Cristalino is good

[bitsandpieces]

I agree with most of these recs.

Honestly, I really like Barefoot Prosecco.

[MrsAxilla]

Four bottles for 15 people does not sound like enough. That's only about a glass and a half each. Costco has a pretty good prosecco for around $8.

[alleinesein]

Do you have a BevMo near you? They have their $0.05 sale going on right now and it includes some sparkling wines and champagne.

[keh2oblue]

Costco's Kirkland brand or La Marca Prosseco are my go-tos.

[auntie]

At that price point, Friexenet would be my choice.

It's one of the few produced using the traditional methode champenoise. Domaine Ste Michelle Rose is very nice and a little sweet/fruity, but about $5 a bottle more. Gruet, which comes out of New Mexico, also produces a very nice range of methode champenoise sparkling wines. 

[sapphireblue]

I agree with others that unless a lot of people are bringing more champagne or other stuff to drink this isn't nearly enough.

For 15 people if I was hosting, I would buy at a minimum 10 bottles, possibly even more. Better to have it left over than to run out!

I love cheap champagne. Around here, I buy either Barefoot Bubbly for $9.99 a bottle, or Korbel at $14.99. The Cupcake Prosecco is also pretty good.

I am intrigued by some of these other recommendations--I'll keep my eye out for them at the store!

There are good suggestions in here and I also agree on quantity. Four of us went through three bottles in mimosas on Christmas morning.

You need more champagne

Ditto this - the Kirkland brand is $7 and La Marca is $15.

[laurack]

trader joes has good options.

MIL brought this one for Christmas- Cecilia Beretta Prosecco Superiore, I think its about $10 and was good.

I've also had this one from TJs - Mionetto Il Prosecco and it was good as well

I assume you are having other drinks too, at least that's how we'd do it. Not many people want to drink nothing but champagne all night I would think. I'd have a glass or two then have beer probably. So as long as you also have beer, wine, etc. I think four bottles should be enough.

La Marca is a favorite, I keep a bottle in the fridge at all times.  If you want sweeter, I have a friend who loves Ballatore.  

I would happily drink drink sparkling wine all night, depending on what other beverages are planned, four wouldn’t be enough at my house!

This was exactly my thought. 

4 bottles for 15 people?

Maybe it’s in addition to other booze already there. If there red/white wine and some hard liquor the champagne could be for novelty/toasting the new year

If it’s the only alcoholic beverage then definitely not nearly enough. Multiply that, by like 10. lol.

[shopgirl07]

Don’t get cheap champagne. No Barefoot or Cupcake! Get a cava or prosecco. I agree with the La Marca suggestion even though it’s more than $10 per bottle. But I think it’s worth it to spend a little more to get something drinkable.

[skidunks]

I love prosecco so I would buy more than 4 bottles.
I usually get La Marca.

[cheeseandcrackers]

i actually really like trader joes brand champagne.. it's tastes really good! it's not much either.. i think 6 bucks.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Is this just for the toast or so you plan on drinking all night?

We hosted around 20 last year and had champagne just for the toast, about three bottles. After the toast most was left untouched and ultimately poured down the drain.

We prefer whisky and beer in my circle.

[iheartbanjos]

Another vote for Kirkland prosecco. We just bought 2 cases for NYE yesterday. In my experience, many people bring a bottle of bubbly to NYE parties as well. If we have leftovers, then we have mimosas on New Years Day.

[captainobvious]

Juame Serra Cristalinois actually pretty good for the price point.

Edit because I got the name wrong. LOL.

[icedcoffee]

I don't have recommendations, but in my circle 4 bottles would likely be more than enough. Most people don't like champagne and it's just used for toasting. Additionally, every time we've toasted everyone brings a bottle and we end up with like 6 extra bottles the next day.

[melsbels]

Another vote for La Marca prosecco.

My absolute fave is Nino Franco but it’s closer to $20 per bottle.

[bl]

LaMarca is my go to and I can almost always find it for around $13 a bottle. I drank a whole bottle while cooking on Christmas. Yum.

[adhdfashion]

Costco sells Cooks Brut in a giant family sized bottle for like $6. We used it to make mimosas on Christmas.
