In neighboring regions such as Alsace and Burgundy you can also find a hundred+ unique Champagne choices and even in Paris. And also in other EU countries where there isn't an extra tax you can buy good Champagne at a decent price. But when it gets put on a boat and sent to the US the price goes up a lot. And in many cases where they don't take the best care in shipping the quality goes down.
