Cheers! The end of the year celebrations are about to begin, so we leave you a list of sparkling wines and cheap ciders (for less than $200) so you can toast without spending all your Christmas bonus and do not arrive at the meetings empty-handed. Take note.
1. Lobito de mar (sparkling rosé)
For less than $150 you can enjoy Lobito de mar. You’ll find bottles with different grapes: suavignon blanc, cavernet and (the toast recommendation) brut rosé with raspberry, lime and tangerine tints.
You will find this label at Bodegas Alianza and its price ranges from $111.75 to $149. Please note that the price may vary according to the season and the point of sale.
2. Valle Redondo white cider
Good, nice and cheap! This cider is one of the most popular for its great taste and affordable price; an infallible option to celebrate with bubbles and fruity notes.
Best of all, it comes in a 700 ml and a 1.7 liter version to share with the whole family. You can find it at Chedraui, Bodega Aurrera, Walmart Super and Sam’s Club; the price ranges from $69 (the small version) to $155 for the patona.
3. El Pomar Cider
This option is a great savings. The El Pomar line of ciders are rich, but most of all economical. It is a Mexican brand that has won international awards.
