Bubbles of the Month

Every month we pick one English sparkling, one Champagne and one bottle that over-delivers for the price. Subscribers hear about them first.

The Althorne Estate Extra Brut 2019
English sparkling of the monthThe Althorne Estate Extra Brut 2019

Our favourite English sparkling, and the reason this site exists. Extra Brut, so the fruit and the acidity do the talking.

Taittinger Brut Millésimé 2015
Champagne of the monthTaittinger Brut Millésimé 2015

A vintage Champagne from the house that planted Domaine Evremond in Kent. Worth comparing side by side with the English wines.

Gartissier Brut
Value pick of the monthGartissier Brut

Proof that good Champagne doesn't have to cost a fortune. Around £15.

How the picks work

Each pick is a bottle we've opened and would happily buy again. The English pick celebrates a producer from our regions. The Champagne pick is often a useful comparison with it. The value pick is usually under £20, because good bubbles shouldn't need a special occasion.

Producers can't pay to be picked. If a pick came from a gifted bottle or an event, we say so on the review.
