That said it's called a Porron and tends to be the way you drink still wines when your out enjoying a meal in the country!

I personally prefer it over the oh-so-famous Moet & Chandon and it costs about half the price. In Madrid you can get it on El Corte Inglés. Spot on with the Juvé & Camps.

Cava it’s not spanish, it’s catalan… ;-)

The best cava for me and very recommended is "Juvé & Camps Gran Reserva Familia" (20/25€). You can taste it in Spain but specially in Catalonia. I think that this one is not exported out of Spain, and there are not too much bottles in Spain out of Catalonia. Try it if you find it and Happy Holidays! Hi, I am Spanish and from Catalonia.

Anyone know any more? Btw, I've been voting for cava over Champagne for years (and Spanish over French wines in general) but I've always advised people against Freixenet it doesn't have the smooth buttery taste that you can find in other cavas. Freixent is a bit too 'pop'. I’m not a movie expert but being a bit of a geek, I can name 4 or 5 Hitchcock films that have been referenced:
