What is champagne?

Before we dive into how to choose the right champagne, let's take a quick look at what champagne is. Generally speaking, champagne is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes grown in certain regions of France and fermented using traditional methods. This type of sparkling wine is known for its unique flavor profile and distinctive bubbly texture.


Types of champagne

When choosing the ideal bottle of champagne, there are several types of champagne to choose from. Brut is one of the most popular types. Understanding the differences between each type of champagne can help you make an informed decision when choosing your bottle of champagne.

The budget is a factor that often comes into play when choosing a champagne. The cost of different champagnes can vary widely, so it's important to set your budget before shopping around for different bottles. Fortunately, there are plenty of great options, whether you have a few dollars or hundreds of dollars to spend on that special treat! If you're looking for something affordable yet delicious, try Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Reserve NV or Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve NV; both of these options are under $50 a bottle, making them great value purchases without sacrificing quality. For those on a more generous budget, options like Dom Perignon or Bollinger La Grande Année come highly recommended by the experts and cost upwards of €100 a bottle!

Whatever type or price you choose, by following these simple tips. From understanding the differences between different types of champagne to considering your budget, finding the right bottle can seem tricky at first, but we hope this guide will make it easy for you in no time!
