Celebration is in the air this New Year’s Eve, and what better way to ring in 2022 than with some of the best champagnes and sparkling wines?

There’s something special about cracking open a bottle of bubbly and toasting to better days ahead. But, with rising Coronavirus cases and bringing homage to doing just about everything at home, you may want to order champagne to your door for an intimate gathering.

For the fizz enthusiasts everywhere, be sure to note that some of the best champagne brands aren’t limited to NYE, either.

We rounded up all the bubbly you should pop for any occasion and ones that are sure to please every palette.

Ahead, take a look at our 12 best champagnes and sparkling wines for more elaborate events (or, an impromptu treat-yourself moment). With our top picks, you’ll definitely want a reason to celebrate.

Usual Wines is one of our favorite wine delivery services to date, namely for its adorable, perfectly sized bottles of bubbly we love to pop. Its wintertime favorite Brut is finally back in stock and is perfect for any NYE celebration.

How adorable are these spritz-y cans of wine? Flying Embers has you covered with its white, red and rosé variety pack — perfectly packaged and personalized options for less than $75.

As the quintessential champagne, we couldn’t refrain from adding a gold-packaged bottle to our list. For $55, it’s a great hostess gift and an elevated bottle to ring in the New Year.

Enter the luxe bottle of champagne to pop at your next event. The tried-and-true favorite, Dom Perignon, is fitting for a milestone celebration — perhaps an engagement, new job or simply the start of 2022.

Moet & Chandon’s Nectar Imperial Rose Edition comes in a party-ready bottle that, with Drizly, can be delivered right to your door in 60 minutes or less.

What better way to toast 2022 than with a black and gold champagne bottle? Another Drizly find, this vintage French champagne has a unique flavor profile for fruity freshness.

As the same brand as the beautiful gold-packaged champagne above, Veuve Clicquot’s Rich Rosé Champagne is a great option if you don’t want to spend more than $75. Not to mention, it’s great for the sweeter spritz lovers as the rosé is packed with lime and ginger.

Say hello to budget bottles. La Marca’s Prosecco still has that fizz we all know and love, but it’s on sale for less than $20. It’s ideal if you just want to pop, sip and move on to the rest of your evening.

For $50, Piper-Heidsieck’s Cuvee Brut is a festively packaged option that is, majorly, a blend of Pinot Noir. Plus, it’s light, smooth and delightfully juicy, thanks to the inclusion of juicy white fruits and grapes.

This emerald-embossed bottle of Cava Brut looks so fancy, we’re surprised it’s only $11. This blend mixes Spanish grapes and contains a profile that’s full of juicy citrus and floral notes.

Champagne for less than $10? Yes, please! Available at Target (which we’re all obsessed with, let’s be real), the Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut Sparkling Wine is the best budget option we’ve found that’s a blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay.

This French Chardonnay spritz is said to be crisp, have fine bubbles and a great bottle for the price, per reviewers. And, its uniquely warm flavor profile — including a toasty biscuit blend — making it too interesting to pass up.
