Serve a prosecco from Italy or a Cremant from France...all the bubbles and fun of a Champagne without the price. If you want specifically Champagne, try Piper Heidsieck from France, should be around $20-$24 per bottle.

Depends on if you want to serve both red and white wine and/or champagne.
Champagne should be placed in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes to reach the ideal serving temperature.
Champagne should not be frozen for optimal taste and serving temperature. It is best served chilled in a refrigerator for about 2-3 hours before serving. Freezing champagne can alter its taste and texture.
Fruit such as strawberries, melon, and white grapes would be a good choice.
Tony Lema got the nickname Champagne Tony when he told the media that he would serve them champagne if he won the Orange County Open tournament in 1962. Frequently, he would celebrate victories with champagne.
I think please review the question. Are you asking for champagne or cognac??? Champagne is served chilled whereas cognac is served at room temperature(if drinking neat) or served alongwith warm water. Actually, I believe s/he is asking about fine champagne, which is a type of cognac. You can drink fine champagne either at room temperature or chilled - I personally would recommend chilled.
