Five Champagne Recommendations Under $25.00 For New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is a night for celebrations, and a time many of us look forward to the upcoming year with hope and resolutions. New Year's Eve is also a time many of else indulge in good food, and wine, ringing in New Year's day with close friends and family. But picking out a good bottle of inexpensive Champagne can be hard for novices, and even for those who consider themselves connoisseur of fine wines. I asked Sterling Pratt, wine director at Schaefer's Wine, Foods, and Spirits located in Skokie, ILL for suggestions for Champagnes, under $25.00 dollars this New Year's Eve, and other questions.

True champagne comes from France, at least, according to Mr. Pratt, is what the French would want us to believe. Champagne is also a region located in France, and it is in this particular region where true champagne is made. Wanting a champagne that would be affordable to the average person, Mr. Pratt went on to explain that because true champagne tended to be over my $25.00 dollar limit, our best bet for finding what I needed would be to look toward California, where copies of French champagnes are usually made. Here is Mr. Pratt five recommendations for a good bottle of Champagne under $25.00.

First Recommendation for Champagne under $25.00, Roedrer

Mr Pratt's first recommendation is from a French company that makes champagne in California, and it is called Roedrerer. This Champagne is priced at $24.97.

Second Recommendation for Champagne under $25.00, Gruet

Mr. Pratt's second recommendation is from New Mexico, and this champagne is called Gruet. It is priced at $13.97

Third Recommendation for Champagne under $25.00, Luis Bouillot

Mr. Pratt's third recommendation is from France, and this Champagne is called Luis Bouillot. It is priced at $15. 97. One reason this French champagne is so inexpensive is because the champagne is made in a part of France where "true champagne" is not usually made.

Fourth Recommendation for Champagne under $25.00, Marque de Gelida.
