Any suggestions for nice (and cheap!) champagne for our wedding reception? And also the amount of bottles we would need for 30 people.
Thanks!

If the champagne is just for a toast then 5 or 6 bottles would be enough. A good sparkling wine @ about $10 per bottle is St. Hillaire brut, Domaine St. Michelle $12 per bottle is good. Real cheap...try Cooks @ $5 per bottle. Also, Cristolino brut cava from Spain @ about $10 per bottle. If you are looking for real champagne from the Champagne region of France be prepared to spend at least $30 per bottle. Try Deutz or Nicolas Feuillatte.

If you want an actual Champagne (and not a sparkling), I suggest Moet Chandon. However, if you are not opposed to having a sparkling wine (Champagne from other wine regions in the world, essentially), here are a couple more suggestions:
1. Yellowglen Yellow from Fosters Wine Estates Americas
Made in Australia; $13.15/bottle (Canadian prices).
2. Yellowglen Pink Sparkling from Fosters Wine Estates Americas
Made in Australia; $13.15/bottle (Canadian prices)
3. Peller Estates Ice Cuvee from Andrew Peller Estates Ltd.
Made in Canada; $30.15/bottle (Canadian prices)
Out of these three, I like the Peller Estates one as a white sparkling wine and the Yellowglen Pink for a pink sparkling wine. I know that some people think pink champagne is a bit tacky, but try a glass of it and, with this one, you'll quickly not care whether or not its tacky.

The Jacob's Creek Sparkling Rose and Champagne styles are both excellent, and about $10-$12 US a bottle.

please im begging you to use gloria ferrer royal cuvee, its not a true champagne only because its made in the states, but it is made in the true tradition and is every bit as lovely with out smaking the grapes out of your wallet. champagne is really only meant for a toast at weddings, so dont go over board. a case should do with some left over for the honey moon

Korbel champagne is a good choice.

Go to your wine store and ask them what they have for a case deal, and go with that. Anything left over you can use as gifts.
