I tried budget fizz under £10 for New Year’s Eve, including amazing £5.99 dupe of Kylie Prosecco…best was £7 from Aldi

WITH New Years Eve just days away, everyone will be searching for the perfect glass of bubbly to raise when the clock strikes midnight. 

But toasting in 2025 doesn’t have to break the bank as now you can even get champagne for less than £15. 

If that doesn’t wet your whistle, there’s plenty of other fizz on offer from Cava and Cremant to Prosecco and Muscat – and all under £10.

We’ve tested bottles from across the supermarkets to let you know which one you should be popping this Tuesday.

Each one has been rated for taste, value for money and bubbliness. 

Frozen Lily Asolo Prosecco – Asda, £7.65

This frosted bottle of prosecco stands out on the shelf immediately – and the taste was great too. It smelt very fresh, and fruity, and had a crisp, apple taste but on the drier side.

Meanwhile, its tiny bubbles gave it a similar texture to high-end champagne, at a fraction of the cost of most bottles.

This is high-class fizz with a low-cost price – and was my favourite prosecco for sure. 

Rating: 4/5

Canti Cantisecco Dry – Tesco, £7.00

This bottle of Canti prosecco smelt remarkably like pear cider, which was unexpected, and had large bubbles, which accentuated the fruity flavour, finished off with an apple-undertone.

It’s very easy to drink, and not too dry, thanks to its syrupy texture, almost like fruit juice from the supermarket. This wasn’t bad, but I’d have liked it to be better given the price. 

Rating: 3/5

Plaza Centro Prosecco – Tesco, £7.00

The harsh smell of this prosecco reminded me of the cheap fizz churned out at bottomless brunches across the UK.

On the tongue, it is very harsh and so dry – you need a glass of water to help yourself feel hydrated.

That said, I know from experience it tastes better mixed with orange juice. But you can certainly get better-value bottles than this one!

Rating: 2/5

Allini Treviso Vino Frizzante – Lidl, £5.49

This was disappointingly flat for a sparkling wine, and smelt like someone had dissolved Liquorice Allsorts into the bottle, which isn’t what I want in my wines.

But the taste is even stranger, as you could easily believe it was water when you first take a sip, until a cloying, chemical after-taste kicks in.

This is one for people who don’t really like sparkling wine, because frankly, it isn’t one. And if I’m honest, it’s barely wine at all. 

Rating: 0/5

Allini Prosecco Extra Dry – Lidl, £4.99

This prosecco certainly had personality and couldn’t wait to get out the bottle!

But it wasn’t even worth the eruption it caused, as it was so exceptionally bland in both taste and smell, you could be tricked into thinking it’s fizzy water.

It’s cheap, clearly for a reason. You’d be better getting some actual sparkling water for half the price if you like something flavourless.

Rating: 1/5

The Reprobates Sparkling White – Aldi, £7.99

This bottle of fizz smelt like burnt dark sugar as I opened it, which wasn’t a particularly great start.

But the taste wasn’t much better.

You could barely feel the bubbles, and it was incredibly dry with essentially no personality – despite the boasts of Brioche and iced pastry on the bottle.

This is all bark and no bite. 

Rating: 1/5

Martini Asti – Tesco, £8.00

This bottle of Martini Asti smelt like melted-down sweets, and tasted pretty similar too.

If you’re looking for a substitute to crisp champagne, this really isn’t it, as it has undertones of honey and florals running through.

If you’re drinking with a younger crowd, this would see them be really happy. 

Rating: 3/5

Mucho Mas – Tesco, £8.00

The makers of Mucho Mas couldn’t even be bothered to foil the top of the bottle, which makes it look cheaper than it is.

But the flavour made up for the lack of presentation.

It smelt like apple mixed with orange squash – a promising combination – and I could taste the orange too.

It had an underlying sweetness and personality, and was very easy to drink. In terms of fizziness, it’s reminiscent of the lager, Estrella.

It’s just a little pricer than I’d like. 

Rating: 3/5

Vivacello Sparkling White – Lidl, £4.79

On first glance, this bottle of sparkling wine was noticeably the colour of wee, or is at least if you’re well hydrated.

It barely smells, and to taste, someone has opted for cooking apples making it very tart.

It’s very cloying on the palette and certainly not crisp like the bottle claims.

Disappointment in a bottle. It’s this cheap for a reason. 

Rating: 2/5

Louis Couturier Cremant De Bordeux – Tesco, £10

This fizz was very lively and erupted out of the bottle the moment the cork was removed.

It’s completely clear and smells distinctly like wine.

Its tart apple taste was rounded off with a citrus finish, and on the drier end.

But this bottle is pricey, and not worth the money if you want a budget booze.

Rating: 2/5

Contevedo Cava – Aldi, £5.79

‘Cava’ may be the Spanish word for ‘cave,’ but I really didn’t need this bottle to taste like a lived-in one.

It smelt like slightly burnt apples and tasted like something had been burnt in the process of making it.

There is a reason this isn’t expensive, and it should just be left on the shelf. 

Rating: 0/5

Arestel Cava Semi Seco – Lidl, £5.49

Another fizzy wine which smelt remarkably like apple cider, sweetness and all – but this was much nicer than many of the others.

It has nutty notes under dominating citrus and apple flavours – and the bubbles are certainly there, fizzing on the tongue.

This is a great drink for toasting in the new year and feeling like you’re not really boozing the night away. 

Rating: 4/5

Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rose – Aldi, £7.09

This was another very sweet-smelling, pink, fizzy wine.

It’s darker in colour than some of the others and had large bubbles sparkling through it, which you can hear if you put your ear to the glass.

But this doesn’t taste anything like it smells.

It’s a very dry wine and had a similar consistency to sparkling water, reminding me of champagne.

So if you fancy something on a budget and pink, this would fit the bill – absolutely my favourite of all that I tried!

Rating: 5/5 – WINNER

Italia Rose Prosecco – Lidl, £5.99

This bottle is very similar-looking to the Kylie Wine Rose prosecco, so I thought it may taste similar too – and it isn’t far off!

The sparkling wine looks barely pink once you’ve poured it into a glass and smells more citrusy than the others. It has a sharp acidic taste to it, rounded off with fresh apple.

Given the price, it’s a decent bottle of plonk.

Rating: 4/5

Plaza Centro Prosecco Rose – Tesco, £7.00

You can barely tell this is a pink prosecco once it is in the glass – I’d easily think it was just a classic version.

I could smell strawberries and red berries when I lifted the glass to my nose, and there’s a hint of strawberry in the taste but it’s overwhelmingly dry, and harsher than the others, which made it less easy to drink.

If you like very dry wine, this might appeal.

Rating: 3/5

Lucotto Moscato Spumante Rose – Asda, £5.50

This Moscato Rose is very pale pink in colour and smells of sweet red berries, with a tart finish.

At first, it had a very sharp taste, but that then faded away to a sugary sweetness.

In fact, it reminded me more of cider than sparkling wine thanks to how it feels on the pallet.

Certainly one that will appeal to regular rose drinkers. 

Rating: 3/5

Kylie Prosecco Rose – Asda, £8.50

This is one of the top-selling rose proseccos in the country, and that’s certainly for a reason.

It has a light pink colour to it, and is definitely a pop princess, like it’s maker.

The fizz is full of strawberry and blossom flavour that would impress even the harshest of wine critics.

For under a tenner, it’s a bargain in a bottle.
