Advice on champagne

Unfortunately not - is there a Melbourne dinner? With Kate McIntyre?

Didn't see it on their website, unlike Sydney's which still has seats available - Prince Wine Store

Just wondering if people can give me some advice,
we have a family party coming up and I have been placed with sourcing the Champagne/Sparkling
The plan is to get 6 bottle of champagne, and 12 bottle of sparking/quaffers
I seen the red wolf blass won best sparkling under $20 (https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produ...red-label-chardonnay-pinot-noir-premium-cuv-e) and probably 6 perrier, which would fit nicely in our $400 budget (minus CR and gift card) would come out 340 ish
Has anyone tried the wolf blass?
Or would my $400 be better spent elsewhere?

Sorry, I don't have much experience with budget sparkling wines, but some people apparently like Pirie or Sieur d'Arques

The Wolf Blass is ok - its not at the level of Pirie NV etc but as you mention TS gave it best under $20 and recommends it as a cheap option for weddings.
 
DMs have Taittinger NV, 2 bottles for $92.
If you were lucky enough to get the Amex offer of spend $50 at DMs online and get $10 cashback, this could be combined with PP 5% off and WISH 5% off for the remaining $42.

$37.65 per bottle is probably at the limit on how good it will get.... sound right?

Some of us will remember getting this at close to $30 but still a decent deal.

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

I'm sure a few of us can beat that... I got a six pack for $0 by spending $1000 at Epiqure back in 2013

I don't think BWS deals are comparable to DM as the former are highly store specific.
 
Ah yes I got some of the "secret" FIFA world cup bottles, but can't remember the price. $200 for a six pack? Not sure if the "normal" branded Taittinger has ever been that low.
Hopefully they *excessively* sponsor the 2018 World Cup ;)
 
Just got an email from Dan's: 6 days of offers leading up to Global Champagne Day on Oct 21st.

Today's (today only) offer is Krug for $220- with some wish & cash back that easily becomes sub $200?!

Will be watching my inbox with interest this week!!
