Carbonated sparkler brands

I am aware that one of the techniques used to create sparklers is to inject CO2 gas at low temperature into still wine, producing cheap sparklers.



I don't recall ever running into one of those products in the US. I am curious to see how good/bad they are.



So, will appreciate getting some brand name suggestions for my next trip to the wine shop or supermarket.



Thanks.

Can you say Andre Champagne. It does not even qualify as sparkling wine in the US and sells for $2us/btl

Ahh Andre a step up I believe from the original, seldom duplicated and rarely equalled (bettered yes, equalled, no), Cold Duck.

Yes, but Cold Duck has had a reincarnation and is now called Sparkling Shiraz.

According to the Gallo website, Andre *is* sparkling wine. Take a look at

Well, now what appeals to broads don't necessarily appeal to me. Anders

You have provided me another reason to never drink Andre.
