I am aware that one of the techniques used to create sparklers is to
inject CO2 gas at low temperature into still wine, producing cheap
sparklers.

I don't recall ever running into one of those products in the US. I
am curious to see how good/bad they are.

So, will appreciate getting some brand name suggestions for my next
trip to the wine shop or supermarket.

Thanks.

Can you say Andre Champagne. It does not even qualify as sparkling wine
in the US and sells for $2us/btl

Ahh Andre a step up I believe from the original, seldom duplicated and
rarely equalled (bettered yes, equalled, no), Cold Duck.

Yes, but Cold Duck has had a reincarnation and is now called
Sparkling Shiraz.

According to the Gallo website, Andre *is* sparkling wine. Take a
look at

"André: America's best-selling sparkling wine offers a taste with
broad appeal as well as consistent quality and value."

Well, now what appeals to broads don't necessarily appeal to me.

You have provided me another reason to never drink Andre.
