    Yep, the pink Bella is quite nice... well priced. Last summer Liquorland had a special on gift boxed pink Bella which came with a Bloom (I think) lip balm. I stocked up and gave them to my neices as gifts... the feedback was very positive.

    Other than that the only true champagne we drink is Moet & Chandon which comes from DH's work, leftovers from functions, so I don't know how much it costs. It's French so it's probably pricey.

    If you want QUALITY, REAL champagne then you can't go past a bottle of Veuve Clicquot .

    So so insanely delicious!

    When I was in the Greek Islands last year we went to this really gorgeous private beach that had a bar and on the drinks menu it had..

    Cristal - 200 euro

    And then in teensy tiny print down the bottom it said "Prices quoted are per glass".

    That is $390 per glass!!!!!!!!! I did wish I was rich enough to do it though...

    Cristal is very nice. Its all down to the size of the bubble and with Cristal its TINY (we had a bottle in July). I'm really into Ruinart atm, second to that would be Cliquot for sure (for average priced champers), but I would also prefer Pommery over Moet. Oh and my absolute fave is Belle Epoque. I have a gf and a BIL who are champagne connoisseurs so we've had a few now.

    Amy its cheaper than that here hon, you'd pay less than that for an entire BOTTLE! Yes its exxy, and its something most people can't do *all* the time, but for the experience its worth it, we still have the gold box in my cupboard

    Yup am a Veuve Cliquot girl all the way as this is the only champagne that doesn't give me heartburn. DH and I have a bottle yearly for our wedding anniversary!
