I like my champers dry. My favorite mainstream brand is Taittinger. I think Dom Perignon is overpriced. Cristal is too floral for my taste; I prefer the nuttiness of Taittinger. Veuve Cliquot is also yummy.

Rose Champagnes are considered by some the finest. Cristal Rose is absolutely wonderful and one of the most expensive.

There are dozens of lesser-known labels that are good. Happy New Year!

Thanks for the info. I do like Dom Perignon, but it's just not as good as Cristal. I always like to have a bottle of Cristal in fridge for special occasions. What would you choose for something to drink after dinner, well after dessert? Would it be better to go dry or sweet?
