<p>A discount supermarket&#8217;s £2.99 Christmas pudding and four supermarket own-brand champagnes have trumped their pricier rivals in tests by watchdog Which?</p>
<p>The consumer group&#8217;s annual festive taste test gave top marks to Lidl&#8217;s Deluxe Matured Christmas Pudding, placing it narrowly ahead of luxury versions from Waitrose and Marks &#038; Spencer costing, weight for weight, more than twice the price.</p>
<p>And experts voted own-brand champagnes from Morrisons, Marks &#038; Spencer, the Co-operative and Waitrose better than the £29.99 Moet &#038; Chandon Brut Imperial.</p>
<p>The tasting found the £19.99 Morrisons &#8220;The Best&#8221; champagne &#8220;far outperformed&#8221; Veuve Clicquot&#8217;s Yellow Label, the most expensive on test at £33.49.</p>
<p>The £28.99 Lanson Black Label Brut was voted the best champagne by Which? judges, followed by the Morrisons variety and Marks &#038; Spencer&#8217;s De Saint Gall Premier Cru.</p>
<p>Which? magazine said the results proved paying more for champagne did not guarantee better quality.</p>
<p>The magazine&#8217;s editor Martin Hocking said: &#8220;Christmas party season is around the corner and the good news is that quality fizz doesn&#8217;t have to break the bank.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our experts found that supermarket own-brand champagnes performed better than some of the best known brands, so you can save some cash and keep the party bubbling.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the pudding tests, judges awarded a top score of 82% to Lidl&#8217;s version, praising it for its &#8220;great taste and brilliant texture&#8221;.</p>
<p>They said the Waitrose cherry and pecan-topped Christmas pudding with Remy Martin (81%) was &#8220;worth splashing out on&#8221; at £13.99, and placed the Co-operative&#8217;s Truly Irresistible Christmas Pudding in third place (80%).</p>
