It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and that means it’s time to break out the bubbly! We’ve rounded up some of our favorite sparkling wines for any price range, whether you’re looking to splurge or stick to your budget. Find all our Goodtaste-approved picks below!
If you’re planning a big bash to ring in the new year, this pick is for you! Tott’s Brut Champagne is easy on the wallet and goes with everything … or nothing at all but a Champagne flute! Fruit-forward and semi-sweet, it’s sure to please a large crowd. ($7)
The Mumm Napa Brut Prestige is a classic sparkler from Napa. Mumm Champagnes are among the most popular in France, and their Napa variety is made traditionally—just like they do it in France. This wine is crisp and dry and will pair beautifully with anything you’re serving. ($19)
Jean Charles Boisset, the producer of this next pick, was born and raised in Burgundy’s famous Côte-d’Or region, so his extensive wine knowledge runs deep. The JCB No. 21 Brut is made with a mix of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, with fresh notes of fruit with almond and white flowers. If you ever find yourself in Napa, visit his winery! ($22)
This lovely Taittinger Prestige Blanc Brut is a traditional dry (or brut) Champagne that would make the perfect choice for any New Year’s celebration. On the nose, you’ll find notes of yellow and white flesh fruits combined with delicious vanilla, and on the palate, those same features repeat, with a touch of honey complemented by the fine bubbles. ($46)
This celebration-worthy bottle even looks the part—encased in a 100% copper, handcrafted suit of armor. The Beau Joie Brut Rosé is ideally balanced, with a light, crisp taste that’s fresh and fruity. ($134)
