André is a brand of sparkling wine produced by the E & J Gallo Winery. It is the best-selling brand of sparkling wine in the United States.[1] It often sells for less than $4 per bottle. It is available in varieties including Brut, Extra Dry and Strawberry flavored California Champagne, among others.[2]

One wine critic describes André's Brut California Champagne as "the sparkling wine (I use the term loosely) that many people cut their teeth on. It is much like ginger ale - pale yellow in color, lemony and on the sweet side, with maybe an apple flavor as well and low bubbles". André's California Champagne is not made using traditional Champagne-making methods. Instead, it is bulk-fermented.[3]
