If I buy Champagne, or more correctly, Sparkling wine here in Sweden, this is what I buy. It has a lot to do with the fact that it comes from South Africa, but more so with the fact that it's a really tasty well balanced sparkling wine, with just the right amount of bubbles. We had this with strawberries out in the garden as it's a brut and very dry and the strawberries compliment it really well. Serve nice and chilled.

Probably the best sparkling wine for this budget (in Russia it is a bit more expensive than in Sweden, but still quite reasonable). Can't really make a choice between Pongracz and some generic Moet Chandon/Piper Heidseick Chamapagne bottle, but much more affordable.
Great with strawberry too!
I started drinking a lot of Cava, from Spain recently. They're really great and also great value for money.
