Champagne: A supermarket guide

Taittinger Champagne’s leading label, the Brut Réserve is a familiar sight on our supermarket shelves. Known for its elegance and finesse, derived from a high percentage of Chardonnay in their wines they offer brilliant value for money.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m always an advocate for Champagne, whether it’s a celebration or a Tuesday, but when it comes to special occasions it is the no1 gift that we Brits like to buy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So when you’re stood staring at the Champagne shelves, ready to buy your gift (let’s be honest, it’s last minute, we’ve all forgotten how to socialise and prepare for things that aren’t a roll out of bed in our joggers situation..), just remember these short summaries for the most well known brands in our supermarkets, to help you on your way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Links are direct to Sainsburys, other supermarkets are obviously available...
