What Champagne do you typically buy?

[EarlyEarly]

Heineken. They put that shyt in champagne bottles now

 

[Astroslik]

Anyone try the moet rose nectar imperial and regular nectar imperial? (Black bottle) what’s the difference?

Veuve Clicquot
Mumm
schramsberg
roederer

Brut, Extra Brut, Blanc De Blanc only

How is that roederer de blanc?

 

[Cave Savage]

Is there a Moet shortage right now?

I couldn't find any (the normal kind) at the liquor store last week and everyone I see drinking Champagne at those Biden victory celebrations has Cliquot.

I had the Rose Brut and it was really good.

I haven't tried the Nectar ones but apparently those are sweeter

So on Friday night I had a bottle of Moet Rose brut and Veuve Cliquot.

They were both really good. But as far as regular, brut champagne goes I think I like Moet more than Cliquot. Moet seems more justifiable paying 45 dollars for than Cliquot IMO.

Best value you can find reasonably easily is Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs for about $27; that's a motherfukking cheat code. Next is Gruet Blancs de Noirs or Blancs de Blancs for $12. I don't really fukk with sparklers in the $40-90 range; stuff like Ruinart is good, but isn't worth 2.5x a Schramsberg. I either get a Schramsberg or level up with Krug at $175.

There's never any reason to drink shyt like Korbel. Gruet costs the same and is 100x better.

Moet is overpriced, same with Veuve Clicquot.

Do you like Dom Perignon?

Do you like Dom Perignon?

Good question. Never had it, unfortunately. Wineheads on serious forums told me to try Krug, and when my money's right try Salon. Dom is well-regarded, though.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

None, I'm not from Harlem.

is the rose brut in the pink bottle?

 

[Pseudonym]

I don't think I've bought actual champagne before, just wine.

Usually when I drink champagne, it's someone else's party

 

[Pseudonym]

This is champagne?

No that's wine

 

[Cave Savage]

is the rose brut in the pink bottle?

Yes.

 

[Cave Savage]

In recent weeks I've tried Lanson Black Label and Louis Roederer Brut NV, both were very good though the latter was a lot better, that was basically a perfect Champagne or pretty close to it at least.

I'm drinking a Gruet Blanc de Noirs (not Champagne but American sparkling wine) right now off a recommendation from this thread and it's pretty good, it reminds me of a Rose. A great value for 15 dollars too.

 

[Cave Savage]

I had 2008 Dom Perignon last night

That was the shyt! Very rich and tasty, I didn't even regret spending all that money on it.

 

[Jahbarri]

I just buy Moet usually since it's consistently good but isn't super expensive like Dom Perignon.

I was wondering if I'm missing out on better Champagne in that price range

Moet rose
