    night everyone that's off

    MFD my sis got some fancy champers super cheap last week in either aldi or lidl, I wanna say lanson (sp?) but not sure...

    I don't mind Lanson Black Label (just like carling ;)) but given a choice I am a Veuve Cliquot gal :D

    I always buy my friends champers for birthdays etc - everyone loves it, appreciates that it is a complete extravagence and I always get a glass ;):D


    Check me out :cool:

    Prefer M&S Bellini, myself! :p :rotfl:

    Veuve Cliquot (aka "the one with the yellow label" :p) is the one we always have at family celebrations.. Which reminds me, as I was pregnant last xmas, I did the driving and didn't drink - which means this year, it's OH's turn to drive! :D

    For our wedding we had English sparkling wine from our local vineyard:

    Halfpenny Green

    It probably cost us as much as a bulk buy of a good champagne. It is lovely though, and we liked the fact it was local.
