For every day easy drinking bubbles, we have settled on Piper-Heidsieck Brut (the red label). We get it for $32 a bottle which is a great deal for French NV Champagne.

Tried it many years ago at a tasting that included Dom Perignon and Krug. Shocked at how good the Piper is.

I have collected wine for over 40 years. I love good Champagne but can't justify the prices of the vintage and top flight stuff. When we drank Krug for $80/bottle (many years ago in France), that was great. At twice the price now here in the US, not worth it to me.

We used to get Bollinger and Veuve Clicquot NV Brut for $18/bottle. Big producers that are capitalizing on their names now.

Look for grower Champagne, some good deals to be had and better than the mass produced stuff.
