Its the missus's 21st coming up soon and I said along with her present Il get a nice bottle of bubbly.. Not wanting to spend £100`s just a decent bottle. Around £50 is good

What are the nice bottles? Im under the impression they are Moet, Verve?

[lambogenie]

Bollinger probably the pick of the under 50's.

[Mattt]

Will she be able to tell the difference between a £50 bottle and a £25/30 bottle? Then you can buy another present - and looks better overall IMO.

[Nat_H]

Laurent Perrier Rose, seeing as its for a lady.

Search around to see if you can find it cheaper, sometimes it might be on offer.

lol, me too.... bloody expensive, but lucly took advantage of the $/£ rate.

LP rose is a good choice. Plus its pink.

[schmokin1]

same goes for the bracelet - get one from somewhere else and get hold of a tiffany box from fleabay, she'll never tell.....!

For under £50 you couldn't really go wrong with a bottle of Moet & Chandon NV Brut Rose Imperial.

[trimbo]

+1 L P Rose. Great stuff, attractive bottle.

+ 2!!

[stu_the_flat]

Veuve Clicquot get my vote.

[ChristianZS]

Unfortunately the people who I could have got to tiffanys came back from the US before I got round to ordering it.

Looks like the bottle of LP Rose

Yes. But don't buy the Special Cuvee. It is, frankly, disappointing. Get a Grand Annee for the proper Bolly real deal. Should pay around the £50 - sometimes found cheaper in odd places (like ASDA!).

Biscuity, not too sweet, proper fine bubbles.

[mouseymousey]

Veuve Clicquot is my personal fav, and for a couple of quid under £50 you could get a bottle of VC Vintage Reserve, although the NV stuff is also very nice.

[Vesuvius 996]

Go the whole hog and get Dom Perignon. It's available for about £70 a bottle, and she WILL keep the bottle forever.

[Fezant Pluckah]

This is what you want.

If she is so much a connoisseur that she can tell the difference between a £30 bottle and a £50 bottle then I'd be looking at something a bit more special.

Gosset Grande Reserve Rose or Ruinart rose both available from berry brothers for about £40 and better than most champagne's double thier price.
