Top value fizz

(by susie)

We all know the festive period comes garlanded with a host of discount offers on wine, especially the sparkling stuff.

But in the lead-up to this Christmas I wanted to highlight some fizz that is genuinely good value and will give plenty of bang for your buck without the lure of the bargain tag.

So I set myself to the task of finding 25 great value sparkling wines – excluding champagne – under £25. I tasted hundreds of bottles to find the best – and you can read the results in the following pdf  of my piece in the November edition of Decanter:

Susie’s 25 Sparkling Wines under £25, Decanter November 2013

The eclectic but rewarding line-up includes wines from Italy, South Africa, Spain, Australia, USA, France, Chile – and four from England.

My thanks to IPC Media/Decanter for allowing me to reproduce this article here. And don’t miss Peter’s piece in Decanter’s December edition, highlighting 30 great value Bordeaux wines under £20 to go with your festive food.
