00:12Champagne prices increase when it's in high demand.
00:14If you're running out to buy bubbly a few days before New Year's Eve, expect to pay
00:18more.
00:19The beverage is typically 18% cheaper when it isn't being sought out.
00:24Buy early and stock up.
00:26Champagne brands are similar to fashion houses.
00:28The more reputable a brand, the more expensive it's going to be.
00:32That's why brands like Dom Perignon come with a higher price tag.
00:36Factors like a longer fermentation time and the season when grapes were picked also make
00:40for a pricier bottle.
00:41Fancy packaging can also increase the price tag.
00:44A pretty cheetah print box may cause you to spend a few extra bucks.
00:48Wondering if there's a taste difference?
00:50Bubbles can show off the price point of a bottle.
00:53The tinier the bubbles, the older the champagne.
00:55In alcohol years, older is generally better.
00:58Bigger bubbles may mean bigger savings.
01:01Unless you live with champagne connoisseurs, no one will be able to tell the difference,
01:05especially if you pour the glass at a tilted angle.
01:08Keep in mind, great tasting sparkling wine bottles go for under 20 bucks and taste similar
01:13to champagne.
01:14The main difference is they're not from the Champagne region of France.
01:18Keep these in mind and you'll be able to find the right priced bottle in no time.
01:23Coinage, life well spent, presented by GEICO.
