I tested all the supermarket Champagne for under £20 – Aldi winner was £5 cheaper than Sainsbury's bubbly
You simply don't get better champagne bang for your buck than our winner TOP OF THE POPS I tested all the supermarket Champagne for under £20 – Aldi winner was £5 cheaper than Sainsbury's bubbly Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN it comes to popping the cork on a bottle of real French bubbly, don't think you have to splash out a fortune for a famous bottle brand. Some of the best fizz can be found on supermarket shelves for bargain prices. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 Great French champagne doesn't have to cost a fortune - thanks to your local supermarket Credit: Getty 10 Wine expert Helena Nicklin samples what is on offer in the supermarkets for less than £20 and gives her verdicts Credit: Oliver Dixon Aldi's Veuve Monsigny was voted the world's best champagne, despite costing just £14.95 a bottle. But it is not the only budget champers worth sipping. Wine expert Helena Nicklin samples what is on offer in the supermarkets for less than £20 and gives her verdicts. Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut NV £14.95 Aldi 10 Award-winning champagne that delivers rich, complex flavours without the high price tag Credit: supplied THIS corker has been top of the pops among wine writers for ages, with plenty of us singing its praises. And following its triumph at the World Champagne Awards, that is now official. Key fizz grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are blended together to create these bubbles but the real surprise is the depth of those spiced brioche and baked apple flavours. A delicious flute that proves you don't have to spend a fortune on a famous name. You simply don't get better champagne bang for your buck than this. Stock up now for the summer, while you still can. 5/5 Wine expert taste tests the newest supermarket dupe of Whispering Angel Etienne Dumont Champagne Brut NV £14.95 Sainsbury's 10 A good standby supermarket-saver bottle or one to grab any time when you want real bubbly without a bonkers price tag Credit: supplied A FROTHY French fizz, this classic champagne blend is not a bad budget option to consider for less than 15 quid. In your flute, this will give you a little almond, a little green apple and a little toast flavour. It also has a satisfyingly deep colour. In the mouth, though, it's maybe just a tad weedy and thin, with bubbles that don't last as long as they could. But it's a perfect candidate for champagne cocktails and at this price, it works. A good standby supermarket-saver bottle or one to grab any time when you want real bubbly without a bonkers price tag. 2/5 Henri Cachet Champagne Brut NV £14.98 Asda 10 Affordable and approachable, this creamy champagne offers fresh pastry notes and smooth vanilla aromas—ideal for celebrations without the hefty price Credit: supplied ASDA's cheaper champers is a gentle, mid-way style that should keep everyone happy. Well below the price of a bottle of any famous branded fizz, this froth is soft and creamy. It is more about fresh pastry flavours than tart and tangy apple and has a lovely, almost vanilla-like aroma. Perhaps less complex than some fizzes at the same price. But that isn't a problem because it's still highly gluggable even when enjoyed alone. Perfect for parties, nicely chilled, or any special occasion where you would like to raise a glass of the real thing but don't fancy breaking the bank. 3/5 Comte de Senneval Champagne Brut NV £9.99, Lidl in store 10 Not, perhaps, the most refined of French fizzes, with its savoury, clunky mineral notes and a whiff of something like cheese rind, but there's a lot of flavour there Credit: supplied THESE bubbles have done well for Lidl, for good reason. And currently reduced from £13.99 to £9.99, they are a serious bargain. What you get here is not perhaps the poshest or most refined of French fizzes, with its savoury, clunky mineral notes and a whiff of something like cheese rind, but there's a lot of flavour there. And of course you are still popping the cork on a bottle of the real deal. For me, this is one to serve well chilled and sip with party canapés – or some nibbles and snacks if you are drinking at home, to soften it up a bit. A tasty tipple and great value for your hard-earned money. 3/5 Louis Delaunay Brut Champagne NV £15, Tesco 10 Super value for money, this delivers a proper champers experience, loaded with all the toasty apple goodness you could ever want Credit: supplied HATS off to French fizz-maker Louis Delaunay and Tesco for managing to bring this in at such an affordable price. Super value for money, this delivers a proper champers experience, loaded with all the toasty apple goodness you could ever want. It's a lovely golden colour, too, so looks pretty in the glass. The only downside for me is a slight lack of freshness on the finish. Nothing a good chill can't sort out, though. Get this one nice and cold in the fridge before you pop the cork and celebrate what a bargain you've bought. Great as a present, too. 4/5 Pol Guyot Selection Champagne Brut NV £19, Sainsbury's 10 Think plenty of apple flavour, with a bit of toast and butter for that exclusive feel Credit: supplied I'M a big fan of this fizz, for just under 20 quid, and also love how the 'Pol' nods to the more glamorous and pricey Pol Roger brand for a luxe vibe. It's a proper bargain, which tastes more expensive than it is. Definitely a step up in superiority from those £15 club fizzes, for only an extra £4. Think plenty of apple flavour, with a bit of toast and butter for that exclusive feel. The finish on this sparkling treat packs a subtly bitter kick that might not be for everyone, so that's something to bear in mind. But this is a serious sipper for the price, nonetheless. 4/5 Louvel Fontaine Champagne Brut NV £18.48 Asda 10 It's a properly posh-seeming drink that will take you from aperitifs though canapés and even on to a main course, should you like Credit: supplied DON'T be fooled into thinking that because the bottle looks less fancy, the fizz inside may disappoint. Well-known names and glitzy labels are fine but it's the froth in your flute that counts – and this tipple seriously overdelivers for the price. Despite costing less than 20 quid, it stays crisp and fresh as you drink, while loaded with hazelnut, brioche and citrus flavour. It's a properly posh-seeming drink that will take you from aperitifs though canapés and even on to a main course, should you like. Great for parties, gifting, toasts, a night in or anything you fancy really. It's often on offer, too, so keep checking. A real off-the-radar gem. 5/5 Nicolas de Montbart Champagne Brut NV £13.99 Aldi 10 Think soft, bruised apples and a sprinkling of chopped almonds when you sip – but it could do with increased acidity to balance things up Credit: supplied ANOTHER French fizz from Aldi at a very affordable price. It's great that the supermarket chain has sourced a back-up champagne for when its prize-winning Veuve Monsigny dries up, and this is a decent drop. But the taste is just a little bit generic for my liking, and noticeably sweet. Think soft, bruised apples and a sprinkling of chopped almonds when you sip – but it could do with increased acidity to balance things up. One for cocktails rather than sipping on its own, in my opinion. So a great option for those summer party Kir Royals and knocking up a tasty Buck's Fizz. 2/5 Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

This 100-year-old Bed-Stuy building is now home to a chic oyster bar
Bed-Stuy's latest wine bar hopes to introduce a space where the wine is accessible, the vibe is French and the oysters are freshly shucked on the half shell. A combination of the French words sel (salt) and lune (moon), Selune opened its doors on June 17, taking space in a 100-year-old brownstone. The wine and oyster bar is a labor of love from couple Marc Lioussanne and Bilen Gaga, who lean on their shared passions to bring it to life. Owner of Bistro Général & Mabel in Paris and previous beverage director of Eden Rock in St. Barths, Lioussane brings the hospitality angle, while Gaga's hand touches the interior, with an eye that is shaped by her fashion background and her Ethiopian roots. Salvaged from the previous tenant, a long, hand-stained walnut bar runs the length of the 50-seat wine bar, illuminated with globe lights. Across it, you can find two-seater tables and chairs plus a singular booth that's pushed up against the exposed brick walls painted white. Among a palette of tan leather, brushed gold and deep green accents, including live greenery, a single portrait hangs on the wall. Found near the rear of the restaurant, the painting depicts a scene of African women preparing a shared meal, nodding to Gaga's Ethiopian heritage. Naturally, wine is on order and there is plenty of it thanks to Lioussanne. Curating a selection over 120 bottles deep, the natural wine list is heavy on the regions of France with stops in Italy, New Zealand and Spain. They seem to be making good on their claim for accessibility as glasses can be had for $8-14 and bottles start as low as $27. There's also a list of cocktails for the partaking, including the miso-based Sunset Martini with rice vinegar syrup and the Ti Carib, an island-y number with coconut, allspice, juice and rum. Even the zero-proof varieties hold interest such as the Daisy with chia seeds, apple juice and a smoked lime as does the cherry tomato water-based Ruby Red, complimented with vanilla syrup and black peppercorn. Rounding it all out, the list includes a range of sakes plus beers sourced from Catskill Brewery. No matter what you drink, it can all easily be paired with Selune's French bistro fare and selections of the sea. Oysters are one of the main draws here, plucked from the eastern coasts of Cape Cod and Nova Scotia to Washington's Hood Canal. All can be dressed your way with a fleet of mignonettes for the choosing: ponzu scallion, shallot wine vinegar and lemongrass. If you'd rather your food come from land, you can build your own charcuterie board, starting with cured Jambon De Paris and Duck Foie Gras before selecting a few artisanal cheeses for the nibbling. Each board comes with a baguette and a swipe of butter to eat it all up.

Royal Ascot favourite's defeat ‘brings pain back' for media star turned owner
The social media influencer, owner of controversially demoted Classic 'winner Shes Perfect', claimed performance of filly awarded the prize at Ascot proved stewards made wrong decision More pain was heaped on social media influencer Basher Watts at Royal Ascot on Friday when hot favourite Zarigana was defeated in the Coronation Stakes. Watts has used his online following to enter the world of racehorse ownership and launch his own syndicates. He has enjoyed a rapid climb with one of his first horses Shes Perfect proving good enough to tackle Classic company. She lined up in the French 1,000 Guineas as a plucky outsider but ended the race as the first past the post, defeating local favourite Zarigana by a nose. However Longchamp stewards determined that Shes Perfect was guilty of interference which impacted fast-finishing favourite Zarigana who was awarded victory with the Watts filly placed second. Watts, trainer Charlie Fellowes and jockey Kieran Shoemark returned to France to argue that the stewards made the wrong call but lost their appeal. Shes Perfect was well beaten on her next start in the French Oaks while Zarigana went off the 6-4 favourite to provide a real example of her talent in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes. Yet the Aga Khan filly came up short again, making smooth progress to get to the lead only then get outbattled by 33-1 chance Cercene, a first royal meeting winner for trainer Joseph Murphy. Fellowes could not resist a dig at the second, writing on X, 'And that is precisely why the Pouliches should never have been taken away from Shes Perfect.' Watts, who calls his filly 'Sue', posted his own reaction on the social media site. He said: 'The positive is that the French 1,000 Guineas form has been franked. Zarigana was there, put her head in front in the final furlong, she should have won. It proves that the French form is franked. 'The negative is it proves there is no way in hell that race should have ever have been taken away from her. Sue battles, Sue battles, Sue battles. Zarigana loves to put her head up and get beat. 'They have to overturn a race if there is no question whatsoever the inconvienced horse would have won. There has to be so many questions whether she would actually have gone past. 'In my opinion she was never ever ever going past. It brings the pain all back.'
