I was disappointed to see that Martini & Rossi Asti was not on the list. It's about $10-12 bottle. It's a sweeter sparkling wine and absolutely delicious. We actually served it at our wedding instead of champagne. It was a hit!

They really missed the mark here. It would be a great list if it was for dry sparkling wine. Every single one of them is a dry, but not everyone enjoys dry wines. If they want to please the masses, they are going to need more than dry wines.

Another really fantastic (and shockingly cheap!) sparkling wine is Verdi Spumante Sparkling Wine. Here it costs around 6$ per bottle. I have given it to many "wine snobs" (myself included!), and everyone loves it. It also comes in a raspberry and peach version, which are so good during the summer.

Definitely agree with cpace and cfoley80 on the M&R Asti! We also served it at our wedding... and 3 months later, we're still getting phone calls asking about it. People are raving. It's just delicious!!
