both are owned by prestigious Champagne houses in France.\u00a0 For a unique sparkling wine, try Italian Prosecco or Spanish Cava.\u00a0 If the couple would like to upgrade to a true Champagne from the Champagne region of France, they may wish to consider a non-vintage Champagne from one of the many spectacular and dependable producers in France, namely Veuve Clicquot, Moet &amp; Chandon, Pol Roger (most recently served at the Royal Wedding), or Louis Roederer.\u00a0 A vintage Champagne will be very costly but is quite an extravagant touch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2681\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2681\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/RSCN4190.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2681 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/RSCN4190-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Non-vintage Champagnes from Veuve Clicquot and Moet &amp;
