Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee Champagne California Sparkling Wine

The long name answers its own hardest question. Champagne sits in the middle of it, but California Sparkling Wine finishes it, and California is where we confirmed this wine is from. Nothing we have gathered ties it to France.

It is also one of the cheaper ones we track. Our price checks found it between $10.99 and $16.99 across ten stores as of August 12, 2026, and the low end of that range sits in the bottom fifth of the sparkling wines we follow. 132 shoppers have rated it, a total most of the 483 rated wines in our catalog never reach, and they put it at 4.39, under the 4.71 median for everything we rate.

Barefoot's own product page for this wine never uses the word Champagne; it lists the bottle only as “Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee” and groups it among its Sparkling & Bubbly Wines, alongside its Extra Dry, Brut Rosé and Moscato Spumante. The producer's copy describes it as “the driest sparkling wine in our portfolio,” with tasting notes of sliced apple, juicy peach and zesty kiwi finishing in “hints of toast on a crisp, refreshing finish,” the producer's words. What that page still does not publish is the alcohol level or the grape blend behind the cuvee, so those stay open questions even with the producer's own copy in hand.

Our call: buy it as an inexpensive party sparkler; it sits among the least expensive sparkling wines we track, and one of the larger rating pools in our catalog stands behind its average. Pass if you choose bubbly by what is in it; neither our record nor the producer's own product page discloses the grapes behind the cuvee, so the blend stays undefined, and that average lands below the middle of the rated wines we cover.
