    :wub: Dirt cheap compared with champagne, and a much better wine into the bargain...

    Yes, you can get good bargains on just about any bubbly that wasn't made in a tiny region of france. Spain, California, New York, and South Africa all have good variants.

    ^Then you've been unlucky. It's possible to get Cava for about £6 a bottle that's better than any champagne I've had up to about £70 a bottle. I admit I have no experience above that price range. ;)

    Actually, even in very expensive wines they are starting to use plastic corks due to shortage of cork tree's and better results with the plastic.
