is that the cheaper version of the real deal? Dom Pérignon? :p

A stickler for spelling and grammar as I told you all on my hello thread.

No that’s the spelling google gave me you cheeky chappy. No need for a cheaper version when someone else’s is paying.

[fatreg]

Google's lying? tut tut... No need indeed, but that doesn't stop some people!

Drinking Dom Perignon in a bar is stupid. It's nice though and even nicer if someone else is paying but the thing is that if you would like to get a good Dom then you should wait for aprox 20 years on top of that year when it's bottled. Like if you have a bottle from 2001 it should be good around 2021 but probably later. So sure you can buy them and have all the fun with them but taste wise it would be better to get something cheaper sparkling wine from Spain or such. It's much better and only worse thing about it is the lack of sex appeal.

Thanks for the info ez but to be honest I just wanted to act the big shot at the bar by ordering it and I was.

I know IHB and I'm proud that you did. I didn't mean to preach and to be honest I've done the same.

all champagne just tastes like headache to me, well the few bottles ive tasted.
massive waste of money and not impressive buying loads of it at a bar in my eyes, but as im not some phit 20 something bird that your trying to impress my opinion dont matter, lol.
and i guess its good to caine it on the companys money, i just would ave done it with a vodka or maybe tried a few single malts

Well said Pukka. Taking a good bottle of vodka to the table is always a win.

Love Champagne.
Drank 8 bottles between me and my business partner on my 18th Birthday.

The missus and I are big champagne fans, but very rarely when we're out - maybe for a birthday, but that's about.

Also drinking a lot of prosecco these days as it's still well undervalued.
