Buying good wine and champagne online? [Archive] - Beer and Bollocks

Just a quick and rather embarrassing question, can anyone recommend a *good* fast and reliable wine merchant online as I want to order two cases of Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne?

I know this stuff is seen as some kind of status symbol by some webmasters but we have a lot of important family celebrations going on between now and Christmas and would prefer to order online rather than have to place special orders and then lug the boxes home.

There are a few places on Google but want to make sure that its actually dispatched ASAP and arrives here safely.

Am I right in thinking this stuff is like £200 a bottle for the most recent vintage?

Surely it's only a status symbol to those who know what it is.

Now if you was talking Pamagne :lmao2:

Do you mean Pomagne? We used to give that away on the "rings & blocks" back in the 70s :)

A man after my own heart... The only champagne I can drink :)

Try Majestic. I've used them is the past and as said before "Virgin" :)

All champagne tastes like cat piss to me - I prefer coke :(
My Dad's really into his wines and spends an arm and a leg on expensive cat piss - I'm assuming I'll develop a taste for cat piss as I get older.

Thanks and I will give them a look. I don't actually drink at all but we have a few celebrations going on so I thought I had better do the decent thing. :)

I gave up sniffing coke after the bottle got stuck up my nose the first time I tried it and the bubbles made me sneeze :)

This champagne thread reminds me of something that happened to a couple of my friends...

They got in on the fake "Millennium" champagne scam... They rented a lock up, bought 6 large plastic bins and invested in the cheap plonk. They soaked these over night to get the labels off then relabled them with the fakes. They worked day nd night for two weeks on this prohect till they had a large supply ready to deliver.. They sold the initial batch PDQ, and so invested all the profits and more in a refill... Only one prob.. The scam was exposed and none of their customers would buy another drop.. I think they're still drinking the crap now, 5 years on... LOL
