Well this shall be interesting. I like Champagne and I was wondering what are your favourite brands? I do like a bottle of Mumm or Mercier - both French. I like Janz from Tasmania too.
What do you like?

Love champagne!!!

Dear old Moet,I actually once whilst in France was able to get the medium dry!!!!!!

Marks and Spencers in the UK do some really lovely champagnes. I like Buff Hill from New Zealand it has a lovely toasty taste.

Spainish Cava is great if you cannot afford the high cost of champagne.
Lady jicky
Oh yes Donna255 - New Zealand do a lovely drop. Infact some of the French houses have bought farms there and in Australia.
Talk about "So there!" to your competition! LOL

I forgot to mention the Champagne Cocktail. No cream , no fuss just delish.

I'm no expert, but I really like Laurent Perrier so that's the one I always buy. Sometimes Bollinger, but I guess that's because they drink it in Absolutely Fabulous all the time.

I adore it and have tried the likes of Tatainger, Dom Perignon, Veuve, etc., but for "everyday" type celebrating, a "c"hampagne or cava will do nicely.
Freixnet (sp?) and some of the California style champagnes are less expensive and equally drinkable for my taste bud/pocket book combo :-)

I'm a sucker for champs, if there's champagne, I'm always in a good mood! My fave is Pol Roger; but that's mostly because my great granddad did a poster for them in the beginning of the 20th century. Tastewise, I also love Perrier Jouet.

I'm another fan of Pol Roger. I'm still looking for a rose champagne from Champagne to love.

My favorite inexpensive pink sparklings are the Sofia rose from Copolla vineyards and Bugey-Cerdon.

When I'm flush, it's always Krug.

When I'm pinching pennies, I generally go with the wines on this list, not bad a'tall:

I prefer Perrier-Jouet.

Vueve Cliquot

My drug of choice for years was the Veuve, but then a client intro'd me to Roederer Estates, which she said had won a blind tasting among her champagne-loving friends. (Apparently they get together at holiday time every year to conduct their "research"... what fun!) Now that one is my reasonably-priced favorite. Particularly I like the L'Ermitage.

Hmmm.... I think I'm due for another bottle...

When I'm craving champagne but my wallet insists "beer," then I go for any of the spanish brands.

I'm a sparkling wine slut. Krug, or Dom Perignon if someone else is buying, Cava or Prosecco if not, I love them all.

All of the above. The best champagne I ever had was a Chateau Rothschild. A restaurant where a friend worked had overordered it and I got a few bottles at cost or below (which made it extra delicious). Gorgeous wine.

Champagne is my absolute favorite thing to drink. My favorite is Dom, then Piper Heidsieck, Vueve Cliquot, and then Roederer Estates.

Pink champagne is my favorite. I don't care what kind.

FTR, California's Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs is a reasonably priced, delicious pink champenoise.
