Moderator Note:

I botched a thread merge which created a big mess. Apologies. This is the official Champagne discussion thread. If I delete the first post the entire thread is lost. Please allow me to do some work in the background and things should be restored later today.
Apologies, and sorry for a few posts which have been deleted by mistake.

Just saw a waiter walk past with two familiarly chubby bottles - pounced like a tiger and helped myself. There's just two of them, in the general wine bar. If anybody is in the lounge, hurry before I drink them! If anybody needs guesting, I'm here until about 115.
