Why is that, and what makes you the judge of it? Personally I dislike champagne, however I do like a good sparkling English wine. The Ridgeview wines which come from about 2 miles from where I live are award winning and extremely good.

Why is it "seriously worrying"? It is not unusual for buyers to have their own brand names particularly where bought in bulk.

Ah so you haven't even tasted it but you find the procurement "seriously worrying" and have decided it is "cheap and nasty wine". Honestly, some posters do make easy fools of themselves, I must say.

The red label shown in post 1 of course explains exactly and logically why the wine is presented in this way.
