I need suggestions of a good, sweet sparkling wine or champagne. I'm willing to spend a little if it is sweet. I've been wanting to try something other than Martini & Asti. Just about everything I tried has been very dry. If you are suggesting something that is hard to find, what site do you use to order?
Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!

Personally, I hate sweet wine/champagne but I know alot of people who drink Verdi. This is especially popular with the Italians & Macedonians. I think it's dreadfully sweet, but so many people like it. It's cheap,so you can always try it now and buy later if you like it. My favourite if Fleur De Lys.

I love Champagne/sparkling wine, especially Mumm Napa. But that was too spendy for our wedding, so I got Cooks on the recommendation of a friend who owns a liquor store. Everyone at the wedding swore it was a $30 bottle at least, and it was only $4 a bottle! So if you just tie a nice napkin or dishtowel around the bottle, nobody will ever know.

Sorry...I'm not a fan of sweet champagne. There are alot of them in the import market and yes you'll pay a pretty penny for them.
Have you tried mixing a champagne with a fruit juice and make a champagne cocktail? OJ with fresh strawberries is always a favorite.

If you were in Canada or can get it from someone there is an icewine& champagne mix called Chrystelle from Peller Estates. Really good, perfect for brunch or dessert of chocolates & fruit.

I like Cinzano brand asti spumanti. It sparkles, and is just sweet enough. Champaagne is much drier, and the cheaper stuff just isn't as pleasing.
