Taittinger Brut Réserve NV, ABV 12%, £36, (offer £27) Waitrose
When your family’s name is on the bottle and you own and manage the champagne house, you are going to ensure the contents are good. A sophisticated and elegant sparkler that is light in style and goes down a treat. Citrusy with subtle honeyed toasty flavours, this champagne is extremely hard to beat.






Tamar Ridge - Devil's Corner Sparkling NV, ABV 12% £16.25 winedirect.co.uk
A delightful mix of chardonnay and pinot noir, this Tasmanian fizz is so easy to drink. Think crunchy apples and tangs of citrus with yeasty aromas. This is a well-balanced wine that is perfect to serve at parties.


 




La Jara Organic Prosecco Spumante Extra Dry NV, ABV 11.5%, £15 noblegreenwines.co.uk
This is one of the best proseccos that I have tasted. It has more oomph than you normally find in this type of wine. Fresh and fruity with a hint of sweetness, it is silky soft on the palate. Light and easy to drink.
