7 best sparkling wines at Costco, according to a sommelier worth exploring

Affordable Costco sparkling picks

Kirkland Signature prosecco typically costs around $10 a bottle, according to the sommelier. Its sweeter style makes it a suggested choice for brunch mimosas. The account also praises Kirkland Signature brut Champagne as lighter and fresher than some Champagnes. It gives a price of $20 to $30 for a sparkling brut, while saying the brand’s true French Champagne costs closer to $60 to $80.

Champagne and food pairings

Moët & Chandon is described as the most iconic wine on the list, with more layered flavors than standard sparkling wine. The sommelier also points to the special, luxurious character of Champagne.

Cava is described as generally dry, with little or no sweetness, and a good match for appetizers and tapas. Scharffenberger Cellars sparkling rosé, priced around $20 at Costco, is recommended with salads, shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon dips.

A pricier bottle to consider

Henriot is the sommelier’s more expensive pick, at $150 a bottle at Costco. The brand has been around for more than 200 years and is described as one of the few larger brands still independent and family-owned.

The sommelier praises the Henriot Champagne for its complexity, flavor, acidity and finish. The account does not name the cava or clearly identify the sparkling brut mentioned alongside the Kirkland Champagne.
