    I just purchased a bottle of Dalmyr's house Rose Grand Cru this weekend. Treated the friends who came to help celebrate my wedding anniversary in Munich. 80 euro well spent.
    Just saying like.

    where there's chaos, there's cash !

    I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

      It would be like Greengrass trying to upstage Compo in the sophistication stakes.

      You've been a bit quiet recently - has Securitas put you on the night shift again?
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

          Apparently Waitrose and Tesco champagnes have won awards in Decanter.

            Sekt. A good Sekt is actually better than Champagne and cheaper.
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              So I went with the wife's original request and ordered a couple of cases @£24 ish a bottle
              Serve the champagne as your guests arrive, not at the end of the evening when they are drunk.

              Unless, there will be speeches and toasts in which case save the champagne for then.

                Out of the original list, I would say the Heidsdeck Monopole would be my choice at the cheaper end of the market.

                My favourite choices, money no object, and from what I've had would be; NV....Pol Roger, and vintage...Dompy...

                Maybe get a nice bottle for yourself and some cheaper ones for the guests, with a few bottles of Freiznet in reserve for those people who you don't like

                    It is rather good actually, but don't tell everybody.

                      Come on folks.

                      Nothing says chav lotto winner contractor christmas like a couple of bottles of Armand de Brignac.

                      Gold coloured bottle with a pewter label. Classy
