OK, cheapest champagne -- real Champagne, from Champagne -- I can find is $36.00/750ml. Champagne is about 1g/ml, maybe 1% less; call it 0.740kg. That's about 1.63 pounds or $22/lb.
Following up, looks like Dom Perignon is running about $200/750ml. $123/lb. USDA Prime filet mignon is about $85/lb. So depending on how you draw your equivalences, champagne and steak aren't all that far apart in cost now. I figure Dom and prime filet are pretty close in market level, but I'm not sure where "cheapest actual champagne" fits in.
