Finding the Best Deals on Personalised Champagne

Budget-Friendly Tips

Securing a personalised champagne bottle doesn’t have to cost the world, especially with a few smart approaches to finding affordable options both locally and online. Here’s how you can maximise value without sacrificing quality or style:

1. Buy in Bulk for Discounts
Buying champagne in bulk can unlock discounts for occasions like weddings or large events. Many retailers offer bulk purchasing deals, reducing per-bottle costs. Use our guide to find out how much champagne you need for an event.

2. Choose Non-Vintage Champagnes
Non-vintage champagne options, like those made by Lanson Champagne, Laurent-Perrier, and Bollinger Champagne, offer excellent quality without the premium price tags of vintage selections. These champagnes blend several harvests, resulting in consistent taste profiles at more affordable prices, making them ideal for gifts where quality and value are essential. You can find additional details on non-vintage selections on our website. Here’s a list of affordable bottle recommendations:

3. Seek Out Seasonal Sales and Promotions
Timing your purchase can lead to significant savings. Retailers often feature discounts around major holidays, New Year’s, or wedding season. Watch for seasonal promotions that align with your event, as these often include reduced prices on customisation services. Check our personalised champagne page for the red discount prices.

4. Limit Customisation to Control Costs
Customisation options range from simple labels to intricate engravings. Labels are often more cost-effective than engraving, which generally requires more labour and precision. The Art of Champagne Bottle Engraving explains how engraving enhances the bottle’s appearance but comes at a higher price than simpler label customisations. Consider custom champagne labels instead of full engraving for those wanting an economical yet personalised look.

Other Budget Ideas

For a creative touch, explore alternative personalisation options like edible glitter, which can be sprinkled into champagne to add a festive shimmer without adding high costs. Adding edible glitter allows for a unique look that’s fun and affordable. DIY decorations, such as ribbons or hand-written tags, can also add a personal touch without incurring customisation fees. Here’s our guide to adding glitter to your own champagne bottle.

Eco-Friendly Choices
Environmentally conscious options can be both budget-friendly and impactful. Choosing sustainable materials or packaging can enhance the gift’s appeal and reduce costs.

Where to Shop

Finding the right place to purchase personalised champagne can help you secure the best deal. Here are our top recommendations for buying personalised champagne.

Where Can I Find Affordable Personalised Champagne?

1. Online Platforms
Shopping online offers the convenience of a broad selection and various customisation options. Look for retailers that offer free shipping deals, which can save on delivery fees, especially for bulk orders. Additionally, multi-purchase discounts can make online shopping ideal for larger events or weddings. Many platforms, including Prestige Drinks, feature customisation options ranging from engraved text to custom labels. Contact us with any questions, and we’ll help you decide on the best choice.

2. In-Store Shopping
Wineries and bottle shops often have excellent last-minute deals, particularly on non-vintage champagnes, a popular choice for budget-conscious buyers. Shopping in-store also allows for a personalised shopping experience; you can consult with knowledgeable staff in person to select a champagne bottle—great for beginners and novices. Local shops may also provide customisation services or direct you to nearby engravers who can help with a personalised label or engraving. However, this could take longer and be more tedious.

Comparing Prices

Finding the best deal on personalised champagne requires knowing how to compare prices across various sellers, whether you’re shopping online or in-store. Here are some essential tips and factors to consider as you look for the right bottle at the right price.

One major pricing factor is whether the champagne is vintage or non-vintage. Vintage champagnes are produced from a single year’s harvest and are often aged longer, leading to a more distinctive and nuanced flavour profile. This makes them generally more expensive than non-vintage champagnes, which blend multiple harvests for a consistent taste and accessible price point. For quality on a budget, consider non-vintage options, which can still provide an elegant taste without the premium cost associated with vintage varieties.

Another way to save money whilst providing the same gift effect is to look at champagne alternatives. Prosecco offers a budget-friendly alternative to champagne, providing a similarly festive sparkle at a lower price point. Explore our range of prosecco and sparkling wines or see our Prosecco vs. Champagne guide for more ideas.

To keep customisation costs in check, consider DIY champagne personalisation methods that allow personal touches without a high price tag. The Prestige Drinks Guide on Personalised Champagne is a great resource for beginners, offering insights on how to choose customisation styles that work within your budget.

Is Personalised Champagne More Expensive?

• Type of Customisation: The cost of customisation varies significantly between labels and engraving. Labels are often the more budget-friendly option, while engraving typically requires additional time and precision, increasing the price.

• Champagne Brand and Rarity: Premium and rare brands such as Dom Perignon command higher prices due to their reputation and quality.

• Bottle Size: Larger bottles like magnums can be striking for events but are typically priced higher than standard bottles. Size considerations are particularly important for occasions with large guest lists.

• Event Type: Corporate events may require premium bottles to impress clients, whereas personal celebrations often allow more flexibility, making non-vintage or smaller bottles ideal choices.
