My close friend is graduating with her masters on Friday. She loves champagne so I wanted to get her a bottle as a gift but I don't drink it very often.
Any brand suggestions that are easy to get and don't cost $200 a bottle?

This is my favorite champagne but it's a red rosé. Depending on the size of your city it can be hard or easy to find!
-
@regberadaisy: Oh!! They have it at my local store apparently!! Will have to look for it!
-
@Littlebit: oh - awesome! And I mean, the bottle is pretty fancy looking. LOL it's very affordable !
-
Does it reflect poorly on me that my first thought was André? The accent makes it more fancy, of course.
I'm a Prosecco kind of girl and really like Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco. It's pretty easy to find, I think.
-
@regberadaisy: @Littlebit: I love that stuff!!
-
@Mamaof2:
I had it for the very first time, YEARs ago at BIL's first wedding!
-
I personally like Perrier Jouet best, but when in doubt Veuve Clicqout will always do.
-
Domaine Carneros. Around $25 and at most stores and Costco. Second choice would be Domaine Chandon, also easily found and about $20.
If you want to spend more yellow label Veuve Cliquot is everywhere at around $35-40.
-
La Veuve Cliquot.
-
I agree with Veuve for an occasion that you want something nicer but don't want to break the bank.
-
This champagne is pretty okay, but the bottle it comes in is fantastic for celebrations!!!

Its $60, but if you sign up for the email list, you can get a discount on your first purchase.

While i love my Veuve, i've been preferring Pommery these days.

@agold: Love that bottle. So pretty!!
-
Another vote for Veuve Cliquot.
-
Champagne is my favorite...to the extent that I've been champagne tasting in Champagne. Another Veuve Cliquot yellow label vote here, although there are several brands listed here that I haven't yet tried. I find Veuve to have a depth of flavor that is lacking in many sparking wines (such as a typical California sparkling wine or pro secco).

We had a bottle of Wycliff at a wedding last summer, and it was shockingly good! I usually don't like champagne-esque drinks, but this one was great, not at all expensive, and left me with no hangover.

Veuve Cliquot Rosé
-
Piper-Heidsieck, Veuve Clicquot and Perrier Jouet. All options in the $50 range.
-
@LBee: LOL I'm the same way. But, if it's for a special gift like graduation, I'll up it to... $20 bottle? lol
-
Veuve Cliquot for the iconic yellow label
Perrier-Jouet is pretty (flowers on the bottle)
