supermarket prosecco best value sparkling wine awards 2026 Penny Golightly

Welcome to our latest guide to the best supermarket prosecco, cava, crémant, and other affordable award-winning sparkling wines for 2026!

Whether you’re looking for some Friday fizz at the end of a long week, or stocking up for the festive season, it’s all here. This year’s delicious bubbly drinks include:

  • The best cheap supermarket prosecco 2026
  • Best low price UK supermarket cava
  • Best value supermarket crémant 2026
  • Award-winning supermarket asti spumante
  • Some less well-known bargain sparkling wines

There’s something for most tastes, even if you’re on a tight budget thanks to the rising cost of living. I’ll be including tasting notes, food pairing ideas, tips about special offers, and some ‘Penny’s Picks’ as we go along.

The big news in the sparkling wines category this year

Asda’s completely wiped the floor with the rest of the competition when it comes to grabbing the top medals. Most other supermarkets have managed to get honourable mentions though, so they’re all included too.

It’s also been a good year for sparkling rosé, especially in the prosecco and cava awards, and sparkling red wines have performed well too.

And now, with out further ado, let us begin by looking at the most popular category: the best value supermarket prosecco hitting the shelves for 2026 and early 2027. Ta daa!

BEST CHEAP SUPERMARKET PROSECCO 2026

Prosecco awards time, and there are some great value Italian fizzes to know about. Well let me get right to the point, I don’t pop my cork for every wine I see. Hey smart spenders, pour a little glass with me.

We have three obvious winners in the bargain supermarket prosecco category, and they’re all excellent value. All you need to do is pick one according to price, style preference or nearest supermarket location. Snap them up!

[It’s also been an unusually good year for supermarket rosé prosecco, so I’ve included a few of the best at the bottom of this section.]

BEST LOW PRICE SUPERMARKET CAVA 2026

If I’m serving up drinks and savoury nibbles I often reach for a good bottle of cava, rather than a prosecco. This traditional sparkling wine from Spain tends to lean more to the dry side, and it’s well suited to relaxed tapas style dining.

We have one hands-down winner in the budget cava category for 2026, plus a great runner up. Both worth your attention if you’re a cava fan.

Let’s start with my new favourite fizz. Surprise, surprise, it’s from Asda! No, really.

Exceptional By Asda Mas Miralda Cava Brut 2023 | £7.75

Exceptional by Asda Mas Miralda Cava Brut

Need a gift or a treat? Here’s something special under £20 with high scores all round:

And now, a couple of budget rosé cavas – both from Asda again – to quickly round off this section:

  • Awards: IWC silver medal 90/100

  • Notes: The latest harvest brings lots of red berry flavours and creamy bubbles.
  • FIND AT >> Asda

BEST VALUE SUPERMARKET CREMANT 2026

French crémant, like champagne, is made using the ‘methode traditionnelle’ where the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle to produce fine bubbles and extra depth of flavour.

A good crémant is often tastier than a budget champagne, and it’s usually significantly cheaper to buy. ‘Win win, cin cin’, as we say at Golightly Gardens.

As we all know from many previous wine tastings and awards, a higher price tag doesn’t always guarantee a better product. And remember, if it isn’t from the Champagne region, it’s just sparkling savings.

Here are three high scoring crémants – mostly around the £12 mark – that are all worth a look:

Asda Cave De Lugny Brut Crémant de Bourgogne | £12.00

Asda Cave De Lugny Brut Crémant de Bourgogne
  • From an area not too far south of the Champagne region. Currently £10 as a Rollback price. << PENNY’S PICK: coolest cut-price crémant.

  • Awards: Decanter silver medal 90/100, IWC silver medal 90/100
  • Notes: Subtle fruity nose with notes of pear and apple. Vivid and fresh on the palate with zesty acidity and persistent bubbles.
  • FIND AT >> Asda

Sainsbury's Cremant de Limoux Taste the difference brut
  • Serve as an aperitif, also great with with seafood. Lovely stuff.

  • FIND AT >> Sainsbury’s

Couple more honourable mentions here:

Aldi Specially Selected Crémant du Jura 2023 | £10.99

  • This distinctive bottle goes in and out of stock, but Aldi usually pack the shelves with it in the Autumn so you can snaffle some for the festive season. Not to be confused with their other crémants from different areas of France.
  • Awards: IWC silver medal 90/100
  • Notes: Fruity aroma, delicate mousse, refreshing flavour and a long, satisfying finish.
  • FIND AT >> Aldi, in store only.

PG’s Tip: While it wasn’t featured in Decanter’s 2026 World Wine Awards, M&S’s cheaper Crémant de Bordeaux Blanc Brut (Timberlay label), £11.00, was recently awarded 90/100 in a different ‘weekday wine’ round of tastings. It represents excellent value for money and is a tasty tipple.


Little bit more to spend? This is more of a wine merchant one, but it’s a proper gold medal winner at a pretty low price.

Famille Bougrier Première Idylle Vouvray Brut | £12.37 – £14.82

Bougrier Première Idylle Vouvray Brut
  • Sparkling wine from the Loire region in France, made from 100% chenin blanc grapes. Not officially sold as a crémant, but very similar in style. Santa can definitely bring me a case of this one.
  • Awards: Decanter gold medal 95/100
  • Notes: Green apple, mineral and hazelnut notes, and a fine, frothy mousse. Crisp and refreshing.

OTHER BEST SUPERMARKET SPARKLING WINES 2026

We’re not quite done yet, bargain hunters. This final section includes a short list of affordable sparkling wines in varying styles. Some are traditional, others are relatively new and represent great value for money.
