Advice on champagne

[Cruiser Elite]

INHO Piper not within cooee of Mumm / Moët / Veuve / Taittinger / Bolly - lowest ranking of the cheaper well known labels - even at ~$30 with rebates etc I would still much prefer P-J via Bootleg at ~$37 - much much better for a few extra bucks - but as always YMMV.

Go Moët as it is reasonably priced. Keep PH Rare, Krug and DOM for flying.....

cove buy a doz of the P-J off Bootleg at ~$37 at moment - it is better than Moet.

Thanks all for the advice. Might give this a miss.

Have been very quiet on the consumption CE so the home cellar in Perth is not going down. My son came tonight and took 3 bottles of red. The 1998 Chalambar should be ok. I think I have Veuve, Moët and Billecart waiting for a reason to get recycled.
I was wrapping up the SMSF 2016 accounting today so just had a light beer to celebrate as it was a brilliant year.
We now drink more in Sydney in one night than a whole year in Perth. My champagne drinking partner in Perth passed away and he hasn't been replaced.

At $30/bot, and you only have to buy two, I think it's perfectly acceptable champers for the price. I wouldn't pay much more than this though.

It is $35 (2/$70) so slightly less acceptable.

Use a wish card and run it through a cashback site to push it closer to $30..

Less wish and cash back

Edit; a bit slower than BC20.....

Goto www.cashrewards.com.au and buy a WISH gift card at 5% off (can be used at Dan Murphy's, but also at any Woolies, BigW etc online and offline. Useful for getting 5% off your groceries if you shop at Woolies etc.)
Then, search for DM on cashrewards site, and click the link to DM. Gets you another 3.5% back on champers, 7% on wine etc. You get $$ you can deposit back into any regular bank account in 60-90 days. Should get you down to ~$30.

Generally the deals on "better" champagne require you to buy (at a minimum) a 6-pack. For mine, Pipers is like JW Black Label scotch - something well known, at a reasonably good quality level that no one's going to turn that nose up at (unless they are champagne snobs) - the safe bet you can't go wrong with. There are "better" mid-level champagnes out there (but it really depends on your taste - my SO is over Moet for example), but you'll be paying more for them.

It's still worth it for $35 and even better less other discounts.

Not sure if this is a good deal or not, however Piper Heidsieck at Dan's at 2 for $70.

I haven't tried it but where would it sit in the Vueve/Mumm/Bolly/Tait etc scale?

If you're in Melbourne, then Duval-Leroy for the same price at Boccaccio using AmEx is better

Really don't rate the Duval. It's like battery acid to me. Personally would rather have the Piper.

Bottom of (just about any) list for my money.
Save the pennies for something more elegant.

That's a great price for the Rose, I think it's usually closer to $75? Off to have a look now, thanks for the heads up!

thanks - picked up a 1/2 dozen, and signed up to cashrewards - wonder how they have such a better rate than pricepal!

Best to always check both cashrewards and pricepal - sometimes it is the other way around with other stores

no worries - although cashrewards is now offering a $5 sign-up bonus
