Castellar Cava, Spain: 

The most most famous sparkling wine in Spain, Castellar Cava is a light refreshing and easy drinking style of Champagne.  Made with Macabeo, Parelleda and Xarel-lo grapes, the Cava stands out from the other sparkling wines on the shelf and costs about $13.  Why pay $45 for Moet Chandon?
