Cheap Champagne, Prosecco and Cava deals for Christmas 2018
We have looked at prices of Cava, Prosecco and Champagne (branded and non-branded) in all the major supermarkets in the UK to find out where you’ll get the most bubbly for your pounds – and the results aren’t actually that surprising.
Of all the bottles currently on sale in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Asda, Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Co-op, Ocado as well as Lidl and Aldi, the two latter supermarkets frequently came out on top as offering the best value.
Of course, our price data doesn’t take into account the quality or taste of the alcohol so that may be reflected in the price.
It's also worth keeping in mind that prices could change rapidly in the run-up to Christmas – so the best offer today might be different by tomorrow.
Here are the best deals on bubbly currently around:
The best value branded Champagne – Aldi’s Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut and Lidl’s Comte de Senneval Champagne Brut for £11.49

The cheapest Prosecco – Lidl’s for £5.49
Prosecco is often regarded as a cheaper alternative to Champagne, and rightly so.
In fact, the fizz has become so popular lately that many Champagne makers have been forced to slash their prices.
According to our data, Lidl is currently offering the cheapest Prosecco bottles around at £5.49.
The supermarket’s Allini Prosecco Frizzante is aromatic, fizzy, off-dry and not too heavy, according to Lidl – but it works well for all types of occasions.
It’s worth noting that as Lidl doesn’t have an online shop, you’ll have to make a trip to your local store.
The next cheapest deal we found on Prosecco is the Bella Cucina Prosecco Fizzante Semi a Tesco currently selling for £5.75.
The best value sparkling wines
Clairette De Die Cuvée César – for £7.99 at Lidl
