Where to get more affordable English sparkling wine
Briefly

English sparkling wine, previously a luxury item, is now reaching broader audiences through supermarket offerings. Many stores have begun to create their own-label wines, making these typically expensive products more affordable, often priced significantly lower than traditional English sparklers. The rise in availability is partly due to high production costs in England versus cheaper alternatives like Prosecco. Workers in England are paid fair wages, and production expenses include costly equipment and land, contrasting starkly with exploitative practices in other regions.
The shift of English sparkling wine from a prestige product to more widely available options in supermarkets has made it more accessible and affordable, attracting curious consumers.
Many supermarkets now offer own-brand English sparkling wines at significantly lower prices than traditional labels, creating an opportunity for more people to experience this local premium beverage.
