Cheers to all!
Fact is a lot of name brand French champagne is rubbish and no better or worse than a decent cava or prosecco.
The allure of champagne is really down to the aggressive protection of the brand by the French and good marketing.
Every time I see a Formula 1 racing driver spraying Moet from a podium I always think that's the best use for it because it often tastes like fizzy
vin de table.
