Lived in France for the last 5 years - best value non champagne fizz that is widely available is Lidl's Cremant d'Alsace which you can usually pick up for about 6 euro.

Nearest to Champagne taste is usually Cremant de Bourgogne followed by Cremants from the Loire and Bordeaux - usually plenty under 10 euro.

Not a fan of Saumur which I'd place on a par with Prosecco and not as good as a decent Cava at the same price.

|Our Favourite non champagne fizz is Trousse Chemise from the wine co-op on the Ile de Re - still under 7 euro direct from the co-op or the big supermarkets on the island - don't buy fron markets, boutiques etc as you'll pay well over the odds.

Good to see you back Val A - was worried that you hadn't posted in 3 months.
