I tried supermarkets’ Champagne dupe Cremant 

Drinks expert Helena Nicklin gives us her selection of supermarket Cremants, along with her ratings. They all taste like they could cost twice the price.

This one is dry and easy-drinking with notes of yellow apple and pastry. It could be fuller-bodied but it is seriously cheap. Good for bulk-buying for toasting at parties.

Specially Selected Cremant d’Alsace

Aldi, £7.99

3/5

A good foodie fizz, it will go well paired with smoked salmon blinis or any salty bread snack. All that for a third of the price of most Champagnes.

Jean Cornelius Cremant Alsace

Lidl, £8.49

4/5

Perfectly fine sipped solo but my tip would be to try this one in an awesome Kir Royale.

Maison de la Rougerie Brut Cremant de Bordeaux

£9.50, Iceland

3/5

Well worth the price and still costs less than a third of Moet. Great to enjoy alone – or why not get a stock in ahead of a special family occasion?

Cremant de Bourgogne Brut

£12, Asda

5/5

Delicious enjoyed in the sunshine on a warm summer day, perhaps with a side of juicy strawberries.

The Best Cremant De Limoux Rosé

£12.50, Morrisons

4/5

Very pretty and a great one for mixing Champagne cocktails when you don’t want to waste very pricey wine by diluting it.

Gratien & Meyer Cremant De Loire Brut Rosé

£12.50,  Tesco
