There is no reason to spend more that $37 max this year on a great bottle of bubbly! Here are some suggestions that are sure to make you sing!
Nv Nicolas Feuillatte Brut (pictured above). Great wine, great taste and perfect for toasting! Only $36
Reginato Blanc De Blancs, really good blend of Argentinean zest with Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. Crisp and very refreshing. Only $15!
NV Jeio Cuvee Rose Brut, My favorite! Floral with a nice zest of citrus from Veneto, Italy. Only $18
Hope these suggestions help!
