Hello, I want to buy champagne as a thank you gift.

Can anyone recommend a good one I can buy from a local supermarket please?

I love Pol Roger - you can buy it at Waitrose

Iflyaway · 17/12/2021 21:23

KRUG.

Will cost you...
About 200 Euros...

I call it the Masserati under the champagnes....

I like Bollinger. Recently a sommelier told me that the Tesco champagne is very good.

Interested in this thread?

Not sure about good ones but I ‘treated’ myself to Veuve Clicquot for New Years a good few years ago and thought it tasted rank! No-one else I was with liked it either. Ended up pouring most of it away!

Perrier-Jouët is my favourite reasonably-priced champagne.

Honeyroar · 17/12/2021 21:26

Veuve is always a good, reasonably priced champagne.

HelloBunny · 17/12/2021 21:26

Piper-Heidsieck. Should be food supermarket deals at the moment.

Sew3stitch · 17/12/2021 21:27

I like Lanson black label and often on offer at supermarkets.

devildeepbluesea · 17/12/2021 21:27

Nicolas Feuillete is the Tesco one I think, always does well in blind tastings.

maxelly · 17/12/2021 21:28

How much do you want to spend? Unless you are splashing the big bucks personally I think other sparkling wines are better value for money as you pay a premium for the 'champagne' tag, if you are wanting to spend £15-20 I would recommend a cremant, cremant de Loire is my favourite but cremant d'alsace, cremant de Bourgogne nice too. Or a bit more pricey but Nyetimber English sparkling wine is very nice too...

HeronLanyon · 17/12/2021 21:29

Les Mesnil (light green label) is great. Hovers around the cost of veuve. Has been a bit hard to get hold of recently. Waitrose sell. Nicholas feuillette. Blue label or rose. Cheaper and good.
Lanson is not too bad and cheaper again.
Own brand - I rate Waitrose above others which are often too sweet for my taste.
My taste is for very dry champagne. Above are very dry-dry.

Thanks everyone, I am prepared to spend a lot as these people helped me when my roof was blown off in Storm Arwen. Unfortunately my nearest Waitrose is 35 miles away, I'll have a look for your recommendations in Sainsburys/Tesco.

Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut

Judgedbycats · 17/12/2021 21:54

I quite like an English sparkling called NYE Timber. It was recommended to me and you can get it in Majestic and Marks and Spencer.

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 17/12/2021 21:55

We love the M&S Demi brut champagne- it’s not own label, can’t remember what label it is sorry.
Pol Roger yes, but not always easy to get hold of.
Tesco yes too.

Jelly0naplate · 17/12/2021 21:57

Bollinger is our favourite, tattinger is our second choice

RunAwayNow · 17/12/2021 22:01

Co-op Pionniers Vintage. Honestly.

MissyB1 · 17/12/2021 22:07

We love Veuve but also Nicholas Feuilette. Both are in most supermarkets.

Sprig1 · 17/12/2021 22:09

Mumm is my favourite (and usually available in sainsbury's)

jassixa · 17/12/2021 22:14

Honestly the Aldi Monsigny champagne is absolute delicious. You'd never think it was from Aldi!

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 17/12/2021 22:15

Pol had always been my fave

massistar · 17/12/2021 22:17

If you really want to splash out it's got to be Dom Perignon for me. Budget wise I like Lanson and Veuve Clicquot.

Brewandhoney · 17/12/2021 22:18

Another vote for Bollinger here or Gosset if you want something bloody nice, or some English sparkling wine. Nyetimber/Bolney/Ridgeview

margotsdevil · 17/12/2021 22:20

Taittinger is definitely our preferred bottle if looking for a reasonably priced. If you can get a reserve it's even better.

wonderstuff · 17/12/2021 22:25

You get more bang for your buck with a good English sparkling wine, depends how much you want to spend and whether it has to be champagne. I like Moët, only had it a couple of times though!
