Hardys Crest Sparkling Wine £5.48

This was lovely sparkling wine and took me slightly by surprise! It was a little better than I thought it might be and therefor completely baffled me! It had that lovely yeasty character that we know all too well from tasting good quality Champagne, it was off dry but not sweet, just a little red apple on the finish. Not a bad wine at all for less than £6!!

Berringer Rose £8.20

Tesco Premium Cru Champagne £12.98


Lets just get one thing straight: Champagne is expensive for what it is! Most of the ordinary household names are all the same and even tastes the same. This statement could land me in jail or make me very unpopular in a wine region that I love, but the fact is that all those mass produced Champagnes do actually taste the same so that’s why I normally stay away from them. Hence the reason why I’m not doing Moet or Bolli or any of the other biggies! I loved this Tesco own name Champagne and decided to give it 3 stars.

Have a lovely New Years Eve and don’t be naughty!!
