If you're after it for the Christening, I'd tend to go with something a little lighter & 'less champagne-y'.. if the makes sense?! )

I truly think Champagne is an aquired taste - some people just don't appreciate the finer things... don't waste your money

Whenever we have a special gathering, I always tend to get

* Riccadonna (Italian sparkling - VERY sweet, but it suits most people for at least one glass.. and is good for toasts, etc)
Anywhere from $11.95 to $16 a bottle, but at 1st Choice you can get it for $9.95... bargain

* Verdi (The low alcohol, less bubbly version of Riccadonna IMO )
About $10 a bottle, depending on where you get it.

* Killawarra (For the 'dryer' taste - not sweet like the others I've mentioned, and they have stacks of flavours - standard, ruby.. and can I just say the new one Vanilla Kreme is a little bit yummy for $10.95 )

Rosemount also have a new one, called 'O' - about $16 a bottle and its light & sweet... not as sweet as the top 2 though.

HTH - I could carry on forever about what I like to drink & what I think is good... but you wouldn't want to be serving it at a Christening - too exxy to waste on guests if they're not into it
