Although the cheap and easy Australian or American brands perform particularly well champagne, which is usually reserved in special events, is popular with those who drink on a regular basis within the UK.

The thing that is clear is that people have quite an obsession with sweet tasting foods and drinks. This might be a reason for the stereotype of British dental hygiene.

2) Echo Falls - 41%

In relation to the fruit-based fusion version in Echo Falls which most of us are acquainted with, it's qualifications in the realm of wine is disputed as it is more like a chimeraera, a mix of juice with a touch of wine. But, according to this reviewer, it fulfilled three requirements for the ideal beverage for students: sweet delicious, fruity, and inexpensive. The sweetness come with a price, but it does come with a sugary cost , as there are 9.2g of sugar per 175ml glass Echo Falls Fruit Fusion Summer Berries.

5) Dom Perignon - 36%

6) Casillero del Diablo - 33%

With the stunningly beautiful Pedro Pascal fronting its advertisement It's no wonder to learn that this Chilean label of wine has been swept from the shelves of supermarkets. But, despite its image as a cheap wine the owners Concha y Toros' more premium wines are becoming an increasingly important part of their business.

7) Bollinger - 33%

In Ay and a long-standing fixture of Ascot It's evident that Brits love their Bolly. Churchill is a famous Pol Roger quaffer, called Champagne "the wine of civilisation and the oil of government" but it hardly appears to have helped much in recent times.
