Mon Feb 09 10:02:51 -0800 2004 0 Stefany 1 1436872 If you like your champagne dry, I think the best kosher options are from Lauren Perrier - my personal favorite is their rose. However, I don't think they're cheap (especially the rose), but "hugely expensive" is a relative term, so you'd have to decide for yourself. A less expensive option might be Barkobsa (sp?).

It was quite good and cheaper than the Laurent-Perrier kosher version. Short of going the cheap route with a Kedem or a Bartenura Spumante, Korbel might be a nice compromise. But I would recommend the Nicolas Feuillatte.

It was wonderful - and not run of the mill. he got it from a small wholesaler in Chicago. He didn't pay more than $14 per bottle - This was over 4 years ago... but it was great! Let me know if you need the name, and I'll find it for you. Mon Feb 09 17:03:48 -0800 2004 1436873 0 Cheesehead-in-Recovery 3 3566208 Please give us the name!

It's on sale for 5.99 now, and might work for you.

"Real" champagne that is kosher is in the $30 - $70 price range. Yarden in Israel makes a Blanc de' Blanc which is excellent and you can buy it by the case for (probably) less than $25/bottle. Also available is a Brut from Hagafen which is very good. If you want to go lower in price, you can look at some of the Italian sparkling wines. Sorry none come to mind now, but there are some good ones. Tue Feb 17 18:11:46 -0800 2004 1436871 0 Hillel
