I'm not a drinker at all, it fraustrating to go on business dinners or anniversaries and everyone is ordering nice wine and i have no clue what to ask for. I love to adapt just one or two wines, but i want it to be the best for a person who's not a heavy drink. Please advise what's the best sparkling champagne white wine out there?

First, Champagne is a great choice. It is low in alcohol and goes well in almost any situation, with almost any food.

You don't want to adopt the best champagne as your regular business dinner wine, because it'll cost way too much and won't be on many restaurant wine lists. What you want is a very good, widely available champagne. With that in mind, I can recommend a few that are currently widely available, and cost under $75 a bottle in the store ($150 restaurant price).

Right now you are looking for the 1995 or 1996 - STAY AWAY from 97, 98 and 99, which are too young and were very weak vintages anyway.

The following four names are all champagnes that sell for $50 - $75 in the store, scored very well, and are widely available on restaurant wine lists:

Charles Heidsieck
Piper Heidesieck
Bollinger Grande Annee
L. Aubry Fils
Billecart Salmon
Taittinger

If you do want to spend considerably more for the best-of-the-best, names to look for are Krug, Salon, and Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame. There are other more obscure choices, but don't worry about learning them yet.

If you are simply looking for a good-tasting, inexpensive, easy drinking bubbly, stay with almost any available Spanish Cava. There is no better beginner's sparkling wine for the money.

Dom Perignon, Cristal and Moet (Moet is the "cheap" version of DP) are generally for people with more money than brains. Okay, DP is very nice, but there are better, more original choices.

There is not any change! All glowing wines from the neighborhood in France, Champagne, are known as Champagne. If a glowing wine does no longer come from the neighborhood Champagne then you definately must name it glowing wine

If you care about taste and do not want to spend a lot, Spanish Cava is an excellent choice.

Asti Spumante. Stay away from "Tosti Spumante".....but if you don't drink you shouldn't feel obligated to drink because of everyone else.

I like Cold Duck.

Ask the person that works at the Liquor store - they should be able to recommend one within your spending limit.
