Bowler & Brolly, Winemaster's Lot Classic Cuvée Brut, Hampshire, England NV

Twee name aside, this is a tasty fizz, with a steely line and firm green apple bite alongside racy acidity. At £5 more than Aldi's reliable non-vintage Champagne and only £2 less than the 2015 Blanc de Blancs, it's not cheap but showcases home-grown quality.

In store from November in time for Christmas and New Year festivities, this is the pick of Aldi's sparklings – and £2 cheaper than the Veuve Monsigny Premier Cru Champagne. Brisk acidity carries Chardonnay-led flavours of fresh green apple through a creamy lemon posset finish.
