At $8 a bottle, Kirkland's prosecco is one of the most affordable sparkling wines at Costco.

Don't let the price fool you, though. This wine is from the "Superiore" area of the Italian prosecco region, meaning the winemaking standards are higher.

The Kirkland bottle is on the sweet side, and it's perfect in brunch mimosas.

Moët & Chandon Champagne is probably the most iconic wine on this list.

As a sommelier, people often ask for a glass of Champagne whenever they want something fizzy. However, true Champagne has to be made in the Champagne region of France — trust me, it actually makes a difference.

The flavors are much more complex and layered than a standard sparkling wine. There's also something special and luxurious about Champagne.

This bottle is amazing on its own but also shines with salty snacks such as potato chips, mixed nuts, and popcorn.

You may not expect much from the Kirkland brut Champagne, but it's hard to find another bottle like it.

It's true Champagne that only costs $21 — it's rare to find a large bottle of the stuff at such a low price.

Kirkland's variety is a little lighter and fresher than some Champagnes, but if that doesn't bother you, it's a total winner.

Choosing cava is a great way to save money when it comes to sparkling wines.

The Spanish sparkler uses the same production method as Champagne but rarely costs more than $20 a bottle. Costco even has one from Blanchard Perez that's under $10.

Cava is generally dry, with little to no sweetness. I love serving it with appetizers and tapas.

Some big Champagne brands purchase land and make Champagne-style sparkling wines worldwide. In this case, Louis Roederer bought property in Northern California's Anderson Valley.

Its sparkling brut is a delight and only costs $20 a bottle. In comparison, the brand's true French Champagne goes for closer to $60.

I like the Californian Roederer Estate stuff so much that I served it at my own wedding.

The only thing more on trend than sparkling wine is sparkling rosé, and Scharffenberger Cellars has a bottle for $19 at Costco.

The affordable Californian wine is made with grapes from Mendocino County and has a cheerful effervescence.

It pairs well with light dishes such as salad, shrimp cocktail, and smoked-salmon dip.

I wanted to include one special, pricier wine on the list, and that spot went to the $150 bottle of Henriot at Costco.

It's a vintage Champagne, which means all the grapes were harvested the same year — in this case, 2006.

Henriot has been around for over 200 years, and it's one of the few larger brands that's still independent and family-owned. Its Champagne hits all the marks for complexity, flavor, acid, and finish.

One of the biggest things to remember is that these options are not exact dupes for wine. The nose and the palate are generally slightly different.

That said, Ariel by J. Lohr Winery produces a nonalcoholic chardonnay with solid wine-like aromas and flavors — it's just a bit more subtle.

It's only about $11 a bottle, and I like to enjoy it with a simple weeknight meal of creamy pasta or grilled fish and vegetables.

Fre's $10 bottle of nonalcoholic pinot grigio should align with your palate if you enjoy a slightly sweet white wine.

Floral and lychee aromas give way to a fresh, sweet taste reminiscent of the real thing.

In my opinion, it's one of the closest examples of a no-alcohol drink that tastes like regular wine.

Napa Valley's Bouchaine Vineyards offers more elevated nonalcohol options made from its estate-grown grapes.

The very subtle aromas and flavors almost make me feel like I'm drinking a real glass of wine.

If you're looking for a drier option, the brand's $25 bottle of estate rosé only has 6 grams of sugar per liter — most similar offerings clock in between 24 and 60 grams.

With white and rosé offerings, Bolle's $30 nonalcohol bottles are the closest thing to a dry sparkling wine I've tasted.

They're made from chardonnay, sylvaner, and pinot-noir grapes grown in La Mancha, Spain.

When I'm looking for a celebration wine without the alcohol, this is my top choice.

Made from merlot grapes grown in Bordeaux, France, Moderato's nonalcoholic blanc de noir is crisp and refreshing as can be.

The sparkling wine goes for about $28 a bottle, so slightly cheaper than Bolle.

When I serve it chilled with a light meal, I hardly miss the alcohol.

I would consider Kally's organic line of no-alcohol drinks to be more like wine alternatives than dupes. They're made with early-harvested grapes, herbs, botanicals, and decaffeinated teas.

Its standard offerings are also $39 a bottle, so they're definitely on the pricier side.

When drinking these, I find you have to suspend your beliefs about what wine should smell and taste like a little. However, I like the savory and herbaceous notes in its golden sparkler bottle.

For whatever reason, making a tasty, nonalcoholic red wine seems to be a challenge. I haven't found as many that I like.

When I'm in the mood for one, I usually reach for Ariel's alcohol-removed cabernet sauvignon. It's lightly sweet, best served chilled, and only about $11.

I love a wine spritzer and find this bottle delightful when served over ice with club soda and a squeeze of lemon.

If you're looking for a wine that's super easy to drink and that's enjoyable both on its own or with a weeknight meal, the cabernet sauvignon from Ironstone Vineyards is the one.

At $14, it's also the most affordable option I reach for.

The pleasant, light-red blend offers notes of juicy, ripe fruits on the nose and palate. It has just a touch of residual sugar for those who prefer sweeter fruity notes.

Domaine Bousquet is a family-owned estate in the Mendoza region of Argentina. Its reserve wines are made with hand-picked, certified organic fruit.

I love the brand's cabernet sauvignon because it tastes exactly like a cab should (full-bodied and dark) for only $18 a bottle.

The wine has a nice tannin structure, so it's on the drier side. Additionally, the notes on both the nose and palate are dark and complex.

Juggernaut's cabernet — made from grapes on hillside vineyards — majorly over-delivers for its $20 price point.

Upon first taste, the wine is dark-fruited and herbaceous in nature. Then, a smooth and velvety side comes through with some chocolate notes, giving it a rich and warming impression.

It's the perfect winter cabernet to enjoy with a pot roast in front of a crackling fireplace.

Bonterra, a leader in sustainable winemaking, offers an easier-drinking cabernet sauvignon with little tannin impression, making it less dry and bitter on the palate.

I think it delivers precisely what a cabernet should for $22: A quaffable glass of red everyone can enjoy.

Bonterra is also one of the easiest-to-find brands on the list. It has wide distribution in major retailers such as Whole Foods, Albertsons, and Trader Joe's.

From the sprawling Santa Margarita Ranch on the south side of Paso Robles, California, comes a spicy little number from Ancient Peaks Winery.

The brand's $25 cabernet has a more dramatic nose and palate, with notes of cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla.

Although some cabernets can be sipped on their own, this bottle is best enjoyed with food. I think it would shine with a hickory-grilled burger, grilled portabellas, or a spiced pork tenderloin.

Founded and owned by master sommelier Des Echavarrie, Alta Nova highlights wines made from grapes grown at high elevations in Paso Robles, which is located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Its $33 cabernet is deep, dark, and brooding in nature, with a good tannin structure. However, it's still a ripe, fruity crowd-pleaser.

Rodney Strong Winery is a legacy Sonoma producer that showcases beautiful grapes from the Alexander Valley.

Its cabernet is dark-fruited, with a lovely note of sweet spice from the oak influence.

Although it's the most expensive on the list at $35, it's the perfect bottle to enjoy with grilled steak or braised short ribs.
