Advice on champagne

There is a reason why Mumm is so cheap, its actually recycled battery acid.

IYHO of course - appears others might hold a differing view.

Haha yes of course each palate is different... Just chucked in my 2c for giggles. I know my family doesn't rate Bollinger as high as I do.

The Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blanc 2004 was 115 EUR and the Grands Crus was 40 EUR. Looked to be reasonable value on a quick DMs check from the Taittinger caves Just as an aside, they were serving this Prelude Grands Crus alongside the Brut Rose at the BA First Lounge in LHR T3 on way here on Tuesday, as well. A lovely couple of lounge drops! I actually prefer the T3 First Lounge to the one in T5.

Awesome, great value - did you have to book in advance for a tour?

Nope - we just showed up and away we went about 10 minutes later... but unfortunately, it was the last tour of the day (4:30?), and it was in French! Probably worth checking when the English tours run to be on the safe side. Thankfully, SWMBO is relatively fluent in the language, and I know a little, so we felt we did ok - better than missing out, as we were only there the one day. For the tours, they have a few price points (between about 16 & 30 EUR), depending on whether you want to taste 1, 2, or 2 + the Comtes de Champagne... We took option 3, of course.

Cheers.

No worries mate. Just hire a trailer and take the whole pallet

Slightly OT but someone should put a starthere referral in the referrals area of the forum.

They have a tiered cash back system for a lot of sites and you progress through referrals. I don't need any more as I'm "Founder" level somehow!

Citi gave me refund $299 annual fee when I cancelled the 80K Sig card - thanks Citi - will be thinking of them every slurp of Mumm I take!

That's almost 10 bottles... bargain
