Any champagne experts on here tonight?
we uncovered a load of the stuff hidden around our house, some of which was obviously expensive and some was supermarket own-brand.
I've brought back to uni with me a bottle of 'specially selected by asda 2000 vintage champagne - brut' which on the bottle reads the usual storage information but also 'perfect now, but will keep for up to 12 months...'
What is that meant to mean? There is no use-by date, no date of when it was bottled etc etc.
I know nothing about Champagne, and my head says shut up and drink it; my heart asks 'will I die if I do?' What's the crack then? is it okay to drink tomorrow?
It has tiny little particles in the bottle which begin to float when distrubed. I'm guessing this is just cork?
cheers,
p.s Now drinking:
