It's NOT bad in terms of The Bible to drink champagne (wine) in moderation. However, it may be bad in the sense that it may upset and cause problems with those who oppose the consumption of alcohol.
However, the Bible makes it clear that Jesus drank wine (Matthew 15:11; Luke 7:33-35) and approved of its moderate consumption (Matthew 15:11). On the other hand, he was critical of drunkenness (Luke 21:34, 12:42; Matthew 24:45-51).
The later writings of St. Paul (d. 64?) deal with alcohol in detail and are important to traditional Christian doctrine on the subject. He considered wine to be a creation of God and therefore inherently good (1 Timothy 4:4), recommended its use for medicinal purposes (1 Timothy 5:23), condemned drunkenness (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 5:11, 6:10; Galatians 5:19-21; Romans 13:3) and recommended abstinence for those who could not control their drinking.

Yes, you can really celebrate a toast with whatever drink you prefer. Some low-calorie, low-sugar alternatives include diet lemonade or Brute champagne. Brut champagne only has about 65 calories per glass as compared to the average 91 calories. Alternatively (and easier), you can just try not to drink too much of the champagne. Even non-alcoholic champagne contains quite a lot of sugar.
At the rehearsal dinner, the host should get the party started with a welcome toast before the 1st course is served. The rest of the toasts should occur after dessert to avoid interfering with the waitstaff. If it is a buffet and more casual, the host may do a welcome toast after guests have served themselves and follow with a toast to the bride and the groom. After the host, the father of the bride can stand, followed by attendants and any other guests who may wish to speak. At the wedding, toasts are typically offered after the cutting of the cake. If you are doing a champagne toast, be sure all the guests have been served a flute. A common wedding trend is to forget the champagne toast" since many just take a sip and it's not cost-effective. It is perfectly fine for guests to toast with whatever they are drinking at the time of toasting. Since toasting is a highlight of the wedding reception, below are samples of toasts to help the best man and others on the wedding day. Remember your toast should last no longer than two minutes since the more you talk, the less people remember. If you forget what to say, remember this easy formula: Start with a little story that conveys the essence of the bride and groom, say how it relates to the happy occasion and how your life has benefited from knowing them and end by wishing them well
