Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label

edit - beaten

Jimmy1983 · 5 Jun 2007 at 19:07

can you get that in a local supermarket? Need it before Fiday.

If you can get a bottle then try this:

It's patriotic and it's good enough for the Queen (though the 2002 is better).

I had 7 bottles of it for boxing day familly dinner, lets just say our lass finished off the cooking, and i sat in the corner with a smile on my face (it helped put up with mine and her 'rents for the day!)

TBH you can't go wrong with Veuve Clicquot yellow though my present favourite is Pol Roger.

Waitrose sell it. At least they do in the Belgravia branch

stinka · 5 Jun 2007 at 20:56

waste of money tbh jacobs creek sparkling just as nice and its £7.00 a bottle

Real champagne has codes on the label. Look for NM or MA. NM is the good stuff and if you see a bottle under £20, buy it.

Think all Waitroses sell it. I would expect most major supermarket chains to stock it too.

Also pretty sure that I've seen it in Makro (Exeter branch).

Bollinger IMO.

Neoni · 6 Jun 2007 at 00:45

But it's for a wedding, and you can't / don't / shouldn't celebrate a wedding with mere sparkling wine.

bollinger is great - if you want pink go to Majestic wine. they sell something called Oiel de Perdrie (sp)

it means eye of the partridge or something. its about £15 a bottle and is delicious!

Thats what the champagne producers would have you believe anyway, its all about the marketing.

Eternity rings were only invented by DeBeers when the sales of their diamonds had gone down so they invented a new tradition.

just get yourself down lidl, £1.50 for a bottle of wine, pick up as many as needed to get smashed for you and others, within the budget you can get 20. problem solved?
