rhythmaningThere is an article in today's Independent about a comparative tasting of champagnes by a panel of experts (nice job if you can get it!).
Many supermarket own-brand wines came out better than the major marques.
The bit I really liked was that "the £24 Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial was inferior to a £3.99 cava from the Co-op and - how embarrassing is this? - a £3.29 Castell Llord Cava Brut from Netto." The £3.29 bottle from Netto was below the price range requested by Which?, who carried out the tasting, "but was included because the discount chain was unable to supply a more expensive bottle."
