Taittinger is the official champagne of the 2018 FIFA world cup, with a limited edition themed bottle! You know what that means

I cannot get over the fact that Qantas Epicure can offer good deals on Champagne 20% off the Blanc de Blanc that is served in 1st only. Plus I get upgrade points QF almost 7500 per bottle purchased(350 about AUD)

If youre in the QF SYD F lounge just ask to work your way through the list to work out what you like the best.

They had the 2014 Brazil limited edition bottles too. Was there a run out then?

I'm pretty sure it was reported in this very thread!

They were a bargain as the Dan's secret champagne.

Hi all, first post and a really big fan of champagne.


Opened up Moet 06 Vintage and Veuve 08 Rose over the last few nights.

Moet 06 was unexpectedly nice, but had a orange rind/grapefruit finish which wasnt to my liking although I think some people would really enjoy it
Veuve Cliquot 08 Rose, coming from what is meant to be a stellar year in champagne, was utterly dissapointing. Really light and airy, no palate and no finish. Did not taste like champagne at all

Welcome aboard wineflyer - could it have been a bad bottle of the ‘08?

Thank you

It didnt taste corked or oxidised in anyway. I got them on special at a VC in Christmas last year - I know why they were on special now I guess!!


Dropped by the newish Sofitel at Darling Harbour yesterday, wonderful Champagne Bar. They had Louis Roederer Phillipe Starck Brut Nature for $25 for a 100ml glass (absolute bargain!). It was the first time I had it, and the first time I had a Brut Nature. Highly acidic and super dry (as expected). Acidic to the point almost sour and salty and briny. It was zesty, fresh and tasted like a stainless steel basket of lemons. First glass went down very nicely, but the acidity for me made it hard to drink more. Left me thirsty and craving apple juice haha

Dans has Vintage Duperrey for $35 for the month. Buys some discount wish gift cards and buy through cashrewards / pricepal et al for a few extra % cashback.

VC LGD (2004) can be had for sub $150 with the current Amex offer and 5% signup offer.
Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame, brut, white 0.75L, giftbox - Veuve Clicquot - All Brands Heinemann Duty Free

DM has it for $237.50. Surely there is a catch to this? Even at $190, that is a somewhat low price?

This is a brilliant wine. DM price is pretty high. I purchased mine from a fine wine store in Perth for $175 which was a sharp price, but not hugely under priced.

Qantas Epiqure have Taittinger CDC 06 for $230.
(Dan's have it for $300 as comparison)
