Champagne for Wedding

lloydr_2

Hi

My wedding venue allows me to bring my own champagne for my wedding toast, it charges £10.50 corkage per bottle, so I was thinking I could get a couple of magnums or Jeroboam (Wiki pedia says it is a 4.5L bottle!!) so first thing is does anyone know if this will be cheaper per Litre, and secondly if it is where is a good place to get it??

Cheers (literally):beer:

You have checked that the corkage is per bottle of any size and not per 75cl (1 standard bottle). Apologies if this is just plain patronising.

When we had my sisters wedding last year we took our own wine and sparkling wine but we werent actually charged for corkage which I guess will make a huge difference for £10 odd a bottle - just out of interest how much would they charge per bottle if they provide the wine - is it really worth buying your own wine?

We just bought some of the Cava from M&S which is lovely and used that as bucks fizz and also for the toast

they said their cheapest is probably more than standard champagne plus corkage, that is why they suggested it. I imagine they dont make £10 per bottle they sell so its better for they as well.

I need to check if it is per bottle or not but it was just an idea at the moment.

Our corkage was per 75cl bottle too. I dont think they would let you have a 4.5l bottle for the same corkage unfortunately.

OK so say it is for 75cl bottles, where is the best place to pick them up? I have until last week of October to get some, so do I wait for a deal in the super market? or is a wine merchant a better bet?

If you do end up buying from Tesco and collect the vouchers...there are 1000 points (equivalent to £40 in tesco deals) when you purchase over £50 worth of wine or champagne online.
If you take a look on the codes/tesco voucher thread it will have it on there.
