Sparkling Champagne

For just £21.99, Lidl Northern Ireland’s own brand fizz is around a third of the price of the market leading luxury labels, proving that quality wine is more than just what is shown on a label – and doesn’t have to break the bank this Christmas.
This refreshing champagne offers intense notes of apple, sweet spices, wood, and toast. Presented in a premium designed bottle, it makes a perfect gift or a sophisticated choice for impressing guests this festive season.
Master of Wine Richard Bampfield said:
“Lidl Northern Ireland’s Bissinger Champagne is the ultimate proof that you can enjoy exceptional quality without the luxury price tag. I rated this fizz a tremendous score of 91, making it an ‘Outstanding’ champagne at an affordable cost to impress this New Year’s Eve”.
Brilliant Bubbles
Lidl Northern Ireland’s lineup doesn’t stop there with plenty more brilliant bubbles to pop and clink this festive season with lowest prices guaranteed while stocks last. Customers can pick up the fruity and refreshing Italian Prosecco Asolo Spumante DOCG (£6.47) and Italian Organic Prosecco with apple and peach aromas (£6.71). For just £4.99, toast the season with Lidl’s Italian Prosecco DOC Frizzante – crisp, fruity, and refreshing, it is best paired with light canapés or enjoyed as an aperitif before the main feast.
For Cava lovers, the retailer’s award-winning Spanish Cava Brut DO (£5.75) with notes of lemon, lime, green apple, and pear is the perfect sparkler to bring to the table this Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.
“Remember that it is always a good idea to have a bottle of fizz in the fridge for those unexpected guests. Sparkling wine also makes an excellent gift if you are not sure what to take round to friends and family”, added Richard Bampfield.
