I figured for my reviews of the top Budget Champagnes (and trust me I plan on tasting ALL of them) I should probably start with my favorite! Just because you are on a budget doesn’t mean you should be stuck with ghetto wines… and as much as I do occasionally enjoy my 2-buck Chuck it’s always nice to branch out and try different things. So for my top favorite of budget Champagnes I give to you Cuvee Brut. Its 8 dollars from Trader Joes (a really great deal let me tell you) and comes the closest to tasting like one of my favorite pricier Champagnes Vive Clique (Orange Label). The Cuvee Brute was dry, crisp, and surprisingly light. For those wine snobs it’s from France (Burgundy) and officially is termed “sparking wine” with a very subtle Apple and Nut taste to it. But really what you need to know is that it was great in my mimosas but was also able to stand out on it’s own for a good glass of champagne. I liked this one so much I’ve bought a couple more bottles, even though I’ve been slowly driving through TJ’s Champagne and Sparkling Wine section.
