I agree with emma69, I like giving out bubbly and there are some very good prosecco or cava that won't break the bank.
I figured I'd probably keep the bottles in our basement, which seems to stay about 10-15 degrees colder than the rest of the house. I did intend on opening each bottle every 6 months or so and buying new.
