Meh, champagnes are all pretty much good once you cross the $8 threshold. I love champagne by the way. By far my favorite drink.
Drinks for partying:
1. Champagne (or sparkling wine for the sn00bs)
2. pounding cheap beer (if you are hanging out with gutter punks drink pabst or bud heavy/frat bros=natty/country=busch or key light/grads=miller lite/bud lite <not all that cheap>)
3. OE40 out tha bag (incredibly "ironic" funny/street cred stamp depending on crowd)
4. shots (jello are best in mixed company b/c they are usually $1/piece and they inevitably start a buying war from there I go irish car bombs <too expensive>, straight jameson, straight jaeger and avoid at all costs the weird shots)
5. Vodka-Redbull. (Use only in emergency because the next day you will feel like poop. Will inevitably lead to you smoking endless cigs with and being wired the whole night.)
6. Wine (only with intellectuals who you can talk with/debate with outside in the summer or fall)
7. Kalimotxo outside in the summer with good company
