NV stands for nonvintage the standard for champagnes. Vintage years are
proclaimed when conditions are optimal for the house in question.

For 25-30 you can find Champagne in large discount stores. some are
obviously going to be better than others. there are so many options that
one really needs to know the exact market area that you are in to push
you in the right direction with brands.
