Champagne gift

[jaybirduk]

I need to buy a bottle of champagne for someone but have no idea what to buy them. Ideally I'd like some brand kudos and somewhere up to £40/£50 but still very drinkable

Any suggestions?

At this time of year. Veuve Cliquot will be doing some fancy presentation bottles. That will be fine.

Your budget will stretch to a bottle of Laurent Perrier Rose which is my favourite champagne of all champagnes-money no object

depends what you like,i've just bought 12 bottles of louis roederer for around £240 from virgin wines incl voucher, and just sorted out a mate 6 bottles of krugg for £350..... i think i know where the better money is spent in my book hehehehe, despite knowing financially which is the better bargain

In sainsburys for champagne. Spotted a Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2002 for £33 IIRC but it was the nice black and golf box that sold it for me.

If you feel that it has the brand recognition you want, at that price point, I'd go for Billecart-Salmon...

^^^ This. It's a damn fine champagne, well recognised, nicer than Mumm or any of the cheaper moets. And you can find it easily in every good off license and virtually every supermarket. Last bottle I bought was about £35, but a good presentation box will give you some nice extras.

Yes, but it's pink. And therefore a bit girly. Not to mention impossible to drink without thinking of crap Eagles songs.
