Champagne Prices at Royal Ascot: What Are the Options?
How much is a bottle of champagne at Royal Ascot and what is the most expensive bottle of fizz? William Hill News investigate all things champagne ahead of the 2026 Royal meeting at Ascot Racecourse.
Royal Ascot is brilliant for the racing and even better when you are there with your people, but the drinks menu can make your eyes water before the first race even jumps off. Champagne sits right at the sharp end of the price list, with magnums taking the prize for the most expensive way to toast a winner.
House Champagne Options
The house-style Moet option is one of the main choices for anyone wanting fizz without going all the way to the top shelf. At Royal Ascot, Moet is priced between £210 and £250, and those figures are for a 1500ml bottle. That is the sort of number that makes a group split the cost before they even start celebrating.
A standard 750ml bottle of Moet is generally just under half that price, which still leaves it firmly in luxury territory. For racegoers who want the Champagne moment without the biggest bill on the day, that is the middle ground most likely to make sense.
Cheapest Champagne Magnum
The cheapest Champagne option on the menu is priced at £210, and it is a magnum-sized 1500ml bottle. That makes it the entry point for anyone wanting to go big rather than simply go sparkling.
A magnum works well for a group day at the races because it spreads the spend across several people, but the headline price still puts it well above the casual drink range. If the table is full and the mood is right, it is the kind of bottle that can turn into the centrepiece of the afternoon.
Most Expensive Champagne Magnum
The most expensive Champagne on offer is Cuvee Dom Perignon Blanc at £560. That sits at the very top of the Royal Ascot drinks list and is a serious step up from the house Moet option.
For a day built around shared moments, that bottle is less about value and more about making a statement. If a group wants to mark a big winner in style, it is clearly the premium choice, though the price is doing a lot of the talking.
Other Alcoholic Drink Prices
Champagne is not the only drink taking a premium position. Guinness and Peroni are both priced at £7.80 a pint, while Meantime pale ale comes in slightly cheaper at £7.50. Grolsch is available at £7 a pint, which makes it the lowest-priced pint mentioned in the drinks list.
Beer drinkers also have Asahi at £7.20, and cider is priced at £7.80. Wine runs from £30 to £45 for a bottle, while Whispering Angel rose is £75 and only sold by the bottle.
Cocktails are also on the menu, with prices at £14. Royal Ascot Blush is listed at £41 for a jug, which is a noticeable jump from last year’s Pimms jug price of £39.50.
Non-Alcohol Prices
The non-alcoholic options are not cheap either. A 0% Peroni costs £5.50, which is still a proper spend for a beer that skips the alcohol.
Other alcohol-free drinks include bottles of Cornish Orchards at £7.80, while non-alcoholic cocktail options are priced at £11 and £9. That means anyone pacing themselves still has a few choices, but none of them feels like a bargain once you are inside the Royal Ascot gates – no matter which enclosure you are situated in.
A day at the races is always better with the right crowd, and the drinks list at Ascot proves the old rule that shared memories come with shared spending. If your group is planning a toast, the smartest move is usually to agree the bottle before anyone gets too excited at the bar.
