I think hugs, back slaps, and high fives should suffice. Save the champagne for winning actual titles: Division Championship, League Championship, and World Championship. Even winning the division series, to me, doesn't merit champagne. It's as if the NFL teams sprayed each other every week of the playoffs. To me there are three times that a champagne shower is merited. 1. Clinch a playoff spot, 2. Win the pennant, 3. Win the WS. That's it. The rest is just gratuitous.
