To cut a longer explanation short, if you go and buy a German Reisling at around the same price, you'll probably get a similar styled wine. Googling Piesporter Wine still shows plenty of places selling it.

Hi pals,
Wanting to treat someone to a bottle of champagne to celebrate something. Is the following decent for £40, or is there something better in the up to £50 bracket?

POL ROGER BRUT RÉSERVE
Champagne Pol Roger Brut Réserve (in gift box) NV
The favourite of Winston Churchill, this extremely special Champagne owes its finesse to the Pol-Roger family’s insistence on remaining small and keeping an obsessive eye on quality. A long, slow maturation has added to its sublime, complex aromas.

Pol Roger is decent. Reasonable offer on Bollinger and Veuve there as well. Any Champagne is usually well received!!
Went to Dunkerque’s Beer and Wine event. 400+ stalls of wine, beer, cheese, meat and street food.. across all regions and international too with Port and rum, olive oil too.
Ended up with some nice bottles
* Tayat 2018
* St Emillion Damas de Montdispic 2020 to go into age
* Congac 15y/o
* Tawny Port 10y/o
* some glass sized wine bottles
* a load of Amiens and Northern french beers.
