However, budget supermarket Aldi has shown that it is possible to live a champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget.
Aldi's Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut, which was named the World Best Champagne at the World Champagne Awards is priced at just £14.95.
The penny-pinching friendly drink is a whopping £30 cheaper than prestigious brand Moet, which retails for £45, but despite its budget price tag, it won the favour of experts.
Aldi said: "Crafted to perfection from a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, and matured in cellars to enhance its complexity and length, Aldi's Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut is known for its aromas of ripe apple, soft red fruit, and delicate florals - a testament to expert winemaking without the premium price tag."
The purse-friendly bottle triumphed over luxury competitors including G.H. Martel Honoré de Balzac Edition Limitée Brut Champagne, which costs up to 70% more than the Aldi product.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK: "To have our £14.95 Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut recognised as the best in the world is proof that exceptional quality doesn't have to come with an eye-watering price tag.
"It's a proud moment not just for Aldi, but for our customers who can enjoy world-class champagne without breaking the bank."
And this isn't the first award that the Aldi champagne has won.
Last year, the drink picked up multiple medals at the International Wine Challenge, Drinks Business Sparkling and Champagne Masters.
The supermarket's wider range of wines, beers and spirits has won over 180 awards this year.
Cheapest supermarket revealed and Wetherspoons axe fan favourite menu item
Aldi has once again been crowned the UK's cheapest supermarket for everyday essentials, beating German rival Lidl.
That's according to new research by consumer group Which?, which compared the price of a typical shop of 82 items across eight major UK supermarkets.
At Aldi, the shop came in at just £135.48 on average – the lowest of the lot.
Lidl followed closely behind, with a near-identical total of £135.79 if using a Lidl Plus loyalty card, or £135.82 without it.
Aldi wine dupes
WHY fork out for an expensive bottle of wine when you can virtually get the same taste, but for less?
Whispering Angel, £17
Aldi dupe: Chassaux Et Fils Atlantique Rosé, £4.99. Or Aldi's Sainte Victoire Provence Rosé, £12.49.
Cali Red by Snoop Dogg, £12/£13
Aldi dupe: The Reprobates Californian Red, £9.99.
Dark Horse Merlot, £10
Aldi dupe: Beachfront Malbec, £6.99
Laurent Perrier Rose champagne, £80
Aldi dupe: Crémant Du Jura, £8.99
Aperol Spritz, £17
Aldi dupe: Aperini Aperitif, £6.99
This makes Lidl just 31p more expensive than Aldi.
The shopping list included branded and own-brand favourites such as Birds Eye peas, Hovis bread, milk and butter.
Reena Sewraz, retail editor at Which?, said: 'Aldi continues to be the UK's cheapest supermarket in our monthly price analysis for May while Lidl has narrowed the gap to just 31p.
'For a bigger list of groceries, Asda continues to be the cheapest supermarket, beating shopping at Tesco with a Clubcard by more than £10."

Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30. Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash. Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public. Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio. Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount. Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses. Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap. But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here. Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds. "Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands. The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
