When value shopping, what’s key?

Find bottles that are made in the traditional method that Champagne is produced. Look for this wording on the label: “Traditional method” or “fermented in this bottle.” If you see a label that says “Charmat Process” or “fermented in the bottle,” beware. The sparklers’ secondary fermentation was in a big container or a tank and this process will create big soda pop bubbles, not to mention a less complex, refined sparkler.
