Best supermarket champagne unveiled - £23 winner beats Moët & Chandon

Aldi’s Veuve Monsigny Premier Cru Brut Champagne has been crowned the best supermarket champagne in a blind taste test run by the consumer group Which?. The 75cl bottle, with 12.5% ABV, costs £22.99—nearly half the price of Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut Champagne, also 75cl at 12.5% ABV but priced at £45. Which? put eight supermarket options against big-name rivals, and Aldi’s wine was described as showing aromas of ripe apples and soft red fruits with delicate floral hints, leading to a clean, lingering finish. Asda’s Exceptional Benoît Renaud Blanc De Noirs Brut Champagne placed second at £24.98. Other standouts ahead of Moët included bottles from Co-op, Marks & Spencer and Lidl, where Comte de Senneval Brut was £13.99.
