Don't go to a supermarket or a liquor store because they're just going to have the standard shit. Go to a place that specializes in wines or alcohol and check their selection. My favourite sparkling wine is by Gloria Ferrer. It's a California vineyard so we get it pretty cheap out here.

You californias have it lucky, since that part of the us is basically the vine country and there are many great vineyards within a few hours driving distance that specialise in a good sparkling wine.

Champagne is a bit trickier for anyone outside europe since in order to be called champagne it has to come from the champagne region, but find a proper vendor and all is well. Tonight we are getting wasted on Krug!

Yeah exactly. I kind of took California wines for granted until I went to a few vineyards up north, they are actually REALLY good. I have a new found love for Zinfandels from the Sonoma region

Oh i totally got hooked on they a few years ago. Still trying to get a few friends hooked on it as well, but its kind f hard sine this whole country is basically a wine country so theres a lot of old world wine making pride going around But the Sonoma Zins are really magnificent

Yeah, I guess most kids get pretty tired before midnight huh?

In Russia, we also celebrate the Old Year. Before it hits midnight, we open a bottle and say our farewells for 2010. : ] WAT.

How anyone can drink anything other than good red wine is beyond me.

great minds think alike

haven't read the thread, but you should always buy champagne marked "brut". its the least sweet. the best tasting, i think.
