It’s Mother’s Day and my motto is: let taste triumph over price tag! Try these options for fun and affordable fizz

Mother’s Day is here and what better way to show her you care than with a bottle of something fabulous? 

Kick off the celebrations by bagging her a bubbly so brilliant she’ll order a dozen. 

My motto is: let taste triumph over price tag. 

Prosecco still has its fans, and while I’m all for a glass of the fun stuff (and I’ve got a belter from Aldi for £7.49), when I think of the amazing still white wine you can find for £7.99, such as Majestic’s Planalto 2018 from Portugal, I’m tempted to suggest sticking that in a SodaStream to stretch your pennies even further. 

Thankfully, Saumur in France is producing bubbly to rival the best and here in England the quality of our fizz is soaring. 

And if you want to go booze-free, I’ve found a peach of a bottle from Fortnum’s to make mum feel like a queen!
