Champagne for Christmas?

[1finny]

Get down to the Co-op
Their brand has come out top again - and it is cracking

The one in the pic is the wrong one tho - that’s the expensive one

Co-op and Aldi champagnes beat Veuve Clicquot in Which? taste test

Top-scoring supermarket fizz costs less than half of the price of its prestigious competitor

Was reading Which this month and their survey on Mince Pies.

After their thorough tasting test the top 3 are

1. Co-op - Irresistible luxury

2. Tesco Finest

3. Iceland Luxury - All Butter

Co-op has the best champagne and the best mince pies according to Which then?. If they top the Christmas cake test too I would smell an insider in the consumer organisation!

I blame Trump

In a normal world you wouldn't be so cynical and just be happy for the wonderful community driven Co-op's around the country

Where's the Co-op?

Haven't seen one for ages.

Don't get me wrong. Forgive my cynicism. ill get both the pies and champagne

Personally think the Lidl mince pies are superior to Tesco in both quality and price. Haven't tried the others on that list.

Pigs in Blankets?? These aren't a Christmas thing, the wife cooks them with every pork Sunday lunch.

Mulled wine- If you don't like it, you are doing it wrong. We have one of these German fire bowls and they are brilliant. You need to use a high percentage rum over the sugar to keep it alight.

There's one in Cockerton and another in West Park in Darlo.

Certainly used to be, but I know the Norton one is now a Lidl or Aldi.

I think you'll struggle to find a supermarket not selling them at Christmas. By that token neither is champagne, or carrots, or turkey.
