What is a good champagne for mimosas?

Question

I need a fairly good and farily cheap champagne for Sunday Brunch what is a good one????

Answer 1

There's no sense in ruining good grapes with orange juice so just go with a inexpensive domestic or even something like a Frexeniet, but if you like, you might try Verve Cliquot.


P.S. That would be ASTI not Andrew Spumonti, which would be serviceable.

Answer 2

Best Champagne For Mimosas

Answer 3

Cheep, cheep, cheap!

When you add peach or any juice to champagne the subtle qualities just disappear! The most expensive champagnes are only used by persons who have too much money! It's like making Margaritas with expensive Añijo (aged) Tequila.

Champagne refers only to bubbly made in Champahne, France.
ANY Sparkling Wine from California will do as well.

Buy what ever's on sale!
Good luck and have fun!

Answer 4

Don't get cheap champagne or sparkling wine because it will give your guests a headache. And don't get sweet champagne or sparkling wine because the OJ provides plenty of sweetness for the mimosa. Try Moet and get the extra dry. Moet has bottles from less expensive to very expensive so you have room to make choices based on your preference/alternative recommendation and budget. Go to a larger spirit store as they will have a good selection.

Answer 5

Depends how you define 'cheap'. Any 'real' champagne (becomes bubbly in bottle, made in champagne, france) is not too cheap, but they are all pretty decent - the entry level offereings from moet et chandon, mumms, krug, perrier jouet, etc. I wouldn't personally waste any of those on mimosas, but maybe you've got a lot more money or a lot lower taxes on alcohol then I do here.

Personally, I'd use a good quality 'champagne method' (i.e. fermented in bottle) sparkling wine. Freixenet cordon ***** or other spanish 'cava' for example.

Answer 6

I actually read this somewhere and tried it and YUM. For a mimosa you need a dry champagne so they suggested andre extra dry. It's like 6 bucks and mmmmm

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU55I

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 9

The very, VERY best sparkling wine, cheap (which it is!) or expensive, for mimosas (and other sparkling wine cocktails) is Freixenet's Carta Nevada (the semiseco is better than the brut for mixers, in my judgement) - the gold bottle, if you can still find it (unfortunately the company started to concentrate on only one product - its black bottle). The grape blend they use is perfect.
There are a couple of similar products from Spanish competitors but I forget what they are except for one brand Rondel.

Answer 10

If you are going to mix it, it doesn't really matter...truly.
Korbel makes decent sparking wine & isn't expensive.

Champagne is only from a region in France, & you probably can't afford most of that!
