ive watched a few youtube video reviews by hardcore wine experts, they compared this to Moet/Veuve/others in the similar price range

and they have said this one is better than all of them

has anyone tried this? i dont see it for sale too commonly here, its not for sale at dans but yes for liquorland

I'm a fan. Suggest buying a bottle and seeing what you like though. Everyone's tastes are different and yours is the one that counts

I too was unimpressed - would not buy again

On Saturday night, we had dinner at Winnifred's in Arthur St, Fortitude Valley (Brisbane).

The champagne list completely overwhelmed me - around 50 pages of different champagnes available. We went with the Chef's Tasting Menu and our waitress and the sommelier compiled matching champagnes/wines for our courses. Each glass was shared between the two us, making the ~$40-60 per glass a more reasonable option.

Definitely somewhere to try - even if just to check out their shop or do a tasting - if you're in Brissie.

Posting in this thread because their focus is champagne and there's SO MANY on offer.

Can you ask DM to match their own prices for another store? If I try shopping from this store as delivery it pushes me to my local store. But I want it at the Belmont store price!

sorry, Dan’s don’t beat clearance prices, but if you’re in Ballarat:

... in an unprecedented move, the authorities have granted a temporary derogation for the 2026 harvest allowing affected Champagnes to reach 15% alcohol, including wines that have undergone enrichment (otherwise known as Chaptalisation). The measure is expected to apply only to a small number of producers and does not mean that Champagne as a whole is suddenly heading towards 15% alcohol. ...

Heat of 2026 Champagne harvest forces rule-change for region

Such was the extreme heat and dryness in Champagne this year, the winemaking rules of the region have been changed.
