25 great sparkling wines under £25

At almost 10 years old, this Chardonnay-dominant blend is self-assured, stylish and a joy to drink. The nose and palate are still fresh yet rich with baked bread, honeycomb, mushroom and lemon curd. A rare opportunity to drink mature English sparkling wine that offers sensational value for so much flavour and length.

A golden and fully mature New World fizz that has the brioche and truffle flavours of aged Champagne with additional caramel richness. Barrel fermentation and four years on lees have yielded an autolytic, soft and buttery wine that would be a great match for a luxurious fish pie.

After 20 years at Bellavista, Roberto Gatti created Ferghettina in 1990 and now makes his own wines using Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Satèn is a refined and complex blanc de blancs with toasty, lemon zest aromas, a soft mousse and an attractive savouriness. Sumptuous but dry and balanced.

Beautifully expressive with vibrant, yeasty aromas. In the mouth this Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend is multi-layered and intensely flavoured with freshly baked bread, spiced white peach, and tangy acidity. This is a very engaging and accomplished bottle of sparkling wine.

The intense dryness of this developed wine is balanced by its rich honey and brioche flavours and fine mousse. Made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with just a splash of Parellada, the blend is more Champagne-like than traditional Cava. Either way, this is certainly an impressive wine.

Full-flavoured for Prosecco and packed with classic notes of honeysuckle, ripe pear and white peach. The mousse is delicate and frothy, and there's a welcome touch of sweetness in this pretty wine.

A wonderful example of Moscato d’Asti at its finest. Packed with exotic orange-blossomwater aromas, it is beautifully sweet, frothy and compelling, with an intriguing blanched almond note on the finish.

<p>Immediately expressive and mineral-infused with layers of creamy development. Smoky, woolly and bready, this stylish Alsace Cr&eacute;mant also has ripe fruit flavours of red pear and apricot. It is biodynamic and pleasingly artisanale in feel.</p>

A blend of 90% Chardonnay with 10% Savagnin, this organic fizz from around Chateau Chalon is beautifully textured and full of rustic charm. Bruised red apple and hedgerow fruits, with waxy, hazelnut flavours. Cries out for terrine, toast and chutney.

From its bright lemon hue to its apple blossom and green herb flavours, this is unmistakably Cava. Made from a traditional blend of Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada, it is a very fine example. Although this may seem a high price to pay for Cava, it'€™s worth every penny. Just don'€™t waste it on a festive Bucks Fizz.

<p>This gently sparkling Prosecco is very artisan in feel. It&rsquo;s a wine that speaks of tradition and the land and people responsible for its creation. Unlike other Proseccos, with their familiar floral aromas, this is herb-and almond-scented with a forest-floor undercurrent. Highly individual and characterful.</p>

Of all my recommendations, this is the most challenging to drink, but in some ways the most rewarding. Like sparkling Chablis – dry, racy and full of mealy, wet stone flavours. Highly individual and not immediately likeable, it will reward you handsomely as its earthy charms unfold.

Delightfully pale and frothy, this stylish Prosecco shows traditional flavours of pear and apricot along with a dash of sweetness. Very subtle underlying creamy notes lend texture and depth to this classic example.

A refreshing crémant from sparkling specialist Dopff au Moulin, situated in Riquewihr, Alsace. A blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois gives floral, pear and white peach aromas, with a bready, yeasty top note. I was won over by the pure lemony attack that melds into soft creamy bubbles.

A lovely combination of clean lemon and green apple flavours, along with a creamy texture and fine, frothy fizz, make this one of the most attractive supermarket Cavas on the market. Vintage Cava is certainly more expensive than non-vintage, but the leap in quality is worth it.

A blend of 60% Chenin Blanc and equal amounts of Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, with 10% reserve wine. Produced from 5 terroirs dominated by calcaire,hand-picked and with 2 years ageing on lees. This has finesse on the palate, freshness and a delicate, persistent mousse. Crisp acidity, vibrant lemon sherbet characters, but also plush and rounded on the mid-palate. Complex and long with a pronounced green apple character on the finish. Will keep.

If you're looking for a Prosecco that combines character with easy drinkability, this is it. Delicate peach-blossom aromas give way to bolder red apple fruit and a fresh, yeasty note on the palate. A touch of sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish round it off beautifully.

Part-owned by Barbara Laithwaite (of the UK wine company), Wyfold’s vineyards are in the Chiltern Hills and the wines made by Ridgeview. A consistently excellent performer, this elegant sparkling is a good value, reliable choice showing attractive, yeasty development.

A fresh and lively, fruity wine with autolytic notes and juicy acidity. Terrific value for this level of quality.

Full-flavoured with rich, bready aromas, this is a characterful blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir and Mauzac. It exudes rounded flavours of dried apricot, roasted nuts and bruised apple. A flavoursome and rustic autumnal fizz.
