6 delicious supermarket alternatives to Champagne
We love Bolli – but these Champagne dupes are really worth trying.
Louis Couturier Crémant de Bordeaux
Price: £12.00
Supermarket: Morrisons
Ideal with: Oysters, charcuterie boards
A fresh, award-winning Crémant from the Bordeaux region of France – made the same way as Champagne but using the local grapes of the region. Full of peach and nectarine flavours and a subtle hint of toasted brioche.
Calvet Crémant de Bordeaux Brut Rosé
Price: £12.00
Supermarket: Ocado
Ideal with: Asian flavours such as chilli, garlic and noodle dishes, strawberries and chocolate. Also perfect as an aperitif.
This sparkling rose Crémant is a great all-rounder – delicious to drink alone or with a wide variety of food. Enjoy hints of strawberry and biscuity notes, fine bubbles, a balanced acidity and a rounded finish – at a fraction of the price of a bottle of rose Champagne…
