So what's the best champagne?

[Robert Jan]

Of course Cristal is the big hype and the most expensive

but is it really the best, and is it as much better as it is more expensive?

What's the best bubbles bang for your buck if it may cost money, but should not cost money for the hell of it, like these lowlife rappers like it?

Its like with bentleys... theyre good cars... but more than that theyre fucking expensive. Take a bentley and a lexus of the same quality and luxury and the bentley will cost you twice as much.

i like dom perignon...had some for the first time on New Years, and it was the best.

 

[Robert Jan]

Heard soemthing about stuff named "Exo" or soemthing that sounds like that being good

 

[George Spellwin]

For a domestic sparkling try Gloria Ferrera - delicious - and about $20 a bottle! Veuve is good too - $40 a bottle. Call me provencial, but my palate cannot discern the difference between $300 champagne and $40 champagne.

 

[jenscats5]

I just bought a sparkling wine from Spain that was an Asti-style that was very good....

I like my champagne/sparkling wines a little on the sweet side.... Dom is too dry for me...

I would say the best champagne is one you like!

 

[ZKaudio]

always veuve unless we're in vegas... then its the criiissssss.

 

[ChefWide]

Dom is my perenial favorite. You cannot go wrong, and is just a better bottle of wine that Crystal...

that having been said, the finest BY FAR domestic bottle of sparkling wine (brut style, i dont do sec or demi sec) is Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Veuve is cool, but it's got to be the Grande Dame or dont go.

I love rose champagne with the right food.... and I suppose if I had to chose one bottle of champagne above all others, hands down it would be Tattinger Compte de Champagne.. wow. A couple bottles of tat and the right gypsie woman and I will have a damn ring out faster than you can say 'risk it'.

 

[jay1]

My personal fav would be Perrier Jouet followed by Dom P.

For New Years I had a Moet Rose that was pretty good for $40

 

[manny78]

Bang for the buck, I prefer the Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame.

Good call.. very.

 

[rktect1000]

Like any wine it depends on year and how it is kept. Cristal is very good if you like a buttery champagne. Dom is good very crisp. In the middle would be a Vueve Clicquot. My preference is a 90, 92, or 95 Cristal, then Vueve, then Dom. If your like cigars Cristal goes best with Cristal. Thats not why I like it I just like Buttery Champagne

 

[IraqShooter]

Veuve 92

Cristal prior to 94

And PJ is an easy choice for common palates.

Cris now is shit and sold to those looking to impress...

There are some small places in Champagne, france that have resevre 90-94 that are flawless. But will put you out at around 4500USD a bottle.

SO for 43 bux at Trader Joes the Vueve does the trick when I host.

And yes, Dom is dry. Too dry for my taste.

Dom Perignon,Moet & Chandon are nice but quite exy.I like that NZ Linduear strawberry bubbly and its only $15 a bottle

 

[SgtSlaughter]

bashfully I say: Andre - spumenti because it's not dry at ALL. Great flavor, undervalued ... and I'm not saying that because I can't afford anything pricier

 

[rgjujitsu]

I like cava from Spain. Try Segura Viudas Heredad 67%macabeo 33%parellado. To me blows grand damme away in price/value and plain taste. That Ironhorse is the shit though.

tellin ya! amazes me every time....

 

[heatherrae]

I used to really like Cristal back in the early 90's, but I really have not had it since then. I like Veuve and PJ, but I don't like Dom, at all. It is too, too dry for my taste.

 

[Arabian]

I have tasted alot of Champagne and Dom is by far the best tasting and the best value.

 

[tictoc]

Dom, all the way! best price & taste for a premium.

 

[02gixxersix]

The stuff I drink is like champagne but just not made in champagne so it's considered a sparkling white. It is called prosecco by mionetti I believe and it's awesome and usually like 15 a bottle.

 

[monteman]

make your own, may not be the BEST but it'll taste awsome to you cause you actually made it!

 

[yonkers weights]

Veuve is the only thing that should be poped! Stop watching music videos and taking your advise from them. VEUVE is TOP OF THE LINE.

Vintage Krug Rose

I agree, Veuve Clicquot is perfection.

 

[SC4EVA]

I have some Veuve and while I think its nice I don't understand the hype on it.

Have anyone ever had a Saint-Nicolas (sp) label?

 

[drwost]

Veuve is a little too dry for me Moet or Piper Heidsick

 

[ZKaudio]

piper is a more drinkable champagne, but for the buck, veuve is a bargain... it's the cheapest champagne that doesn't taste like burnt rubber lol

 

[Bikini Mod]

How one can call any beverage that is about 50$ per bottle *cheap* is beyond me. It is inexpensive comparitively to a lot of the outrageously overpriced, overhyped GARBAGE out there. Veuve IMO is the best champagne for the price. The quality is wonderful and a bottle or two won't break the bank.

 

[BIGBUCK$]

veuve clicquot

 

[BIGBUCK$]

poppin bottles and fuckin models

 

[princesa]

[HAYEZ]
