Not Sure What Champagne To Buy? Ask The Expert!

 

The beauty of the internet when it comes to purchasing a myriad of champagne brands is obvious: fast delivery, lots of choice, a guarantee that quality will be high and price will be very competitive. But...What do you do when all the opinions seem biased and you want a human opinion from someone who tastes a lot? You go to a champagne dealer, of course.

And it needn't be one that's exclusive to only those with lots of money – plenty of high-street shops have champagne sections, most with staff who are friendly and knowledgeable about every aspect of our beloved drink. In the UK, Oddbins is one fine example. One of the best-known wine / champagne sellers in the city, they're a chain as committed to excellence as any other.

Even better, they often have great deals on with as much as 20% off two bottles of champagne! (When bought together.) Also impressive is the fact that many Oddbins outlets programme notes into their computer systems themselves. This means that asking an assistant for the pros and cons of various brands gives you a clear and easy to understand idea of what you are buying, making comparing two favourites simple to do.
