You have to have a glass of champagne on New Year's Eve (or bubbly as we call it because only bubbly stuff from the area in France called Champagne can legally and morally be called that. Otherwise, it's bubbly.) Maybe it's like Hoppin' John and portends good luck for the coming year. With 2012 being the end of the Mayan calendar, we will all need every bit of good vibes we can muster. So let's drink!

Do you just buy the stuff on display in your neighborhood grocery store? Shame on you! No wonder you complain that "champagne" always gives you headaches.

Thanks to the Wall Street Journal and Lettie Teague, we have a bit of a guide, but be prepared to spend at least $40.

Louis Roederer Brut Premier – it’s good enough, apparently, to be confused with Cristal, the champagne of high rolling rappers. $40

Pol Roger Brut Reserve $40

Pierre Moncuit Blanc de Blancs Brut NV $45

Pierre Gimonnet Brut Blanc de Blancs Sans Annee $40

Camille Saves Brut Rose $62

Best yet – it’s only about 75 calories per glass.
