Different Champaign Types I Might Find at the Liquor Store

May 19, 2025

Champagne is a type of sparkling wine that is commonly available in liquor stores. It’s a popular choice for celebrations, holidays, and special dinners. At Ideal Party Store, we provide an extensive selection of champagnes that suit different preferences. Whether you’re looking for something dry and crisp or sweet and indulgent, you can find a champagne that suits your taste. Here are various types of champagne you might find at a liquor store:

Brut Champagne 

Brut is a popular style of champagne, and a liquor store typically carries it. It is considered the standard dry variety, meaning it contains little to no sugar. This gives it a crisp texture and a balanced flavor, and it’s not overly sweet. Because brut champagne has a bolder taste, it pairs well with foods such as seafood, poultry, and cheese. This makes it a popular choice to have with dinner. Beverage stores often offer a variety of Brut labels that fit your price range and occasion.

Extra Brut and Brut Nature

Extra Brut and Brut Nature are drier than Brut Champagnes, because they have less sugar, appealing to those who prefer dry wine that isn’t overly sweet. These styles may have a sharper, more intense flavor and are usually not sweetened after fermentation. While some beverage stores may have a limited selection of these champagnes, you can usually still find a few labels in this category.

Demi-Sec and Doux

Both Demi-Sec and Doux are sweet champagnes. Demi-sec has a moderate level of sugar, and it is sweeter than Brut. Doux is the sweetest category of champagne, with a higher sugar content. These styles of champagne are usually served with desserts or fruit dishes and are used in recipes that call for sweeter sparkling wine. Beverage stores that carry a wide range of wine may offer Demi-Sec and Doux Champagne. 

Rosé

Rosé champagne gets its color either by allowing the grape juice to soak with red grape skins or by blending red wine with white Champagne. This creates a pink-hued sparkling wine, and its taste can range from dry to slightly sweet. The profile depends on the amount of sugar added during the production process. 

Many rosé champagnes are lean and dry, creating a crisp and fruity profile, with notes of berries or citrus. Because of its versatility, it is popular for casual sipping or special occasions. Many beverage stores carry this drink because of its popularity. At Ideal Party Store, we offer a variety of Rosé Champagne options, including both domestic and imported brands.
