Curious to thoughts on what is the next level below prestige champagne below Dom. (To the absolute newbie only heard of never tasted any)
I’m giving a gift but really do not want to go to the Dom level. I’m sure the Dom label would make a splash but can’t decide what’s the next level down that would scream “celebration” to a non wine lover. In this case the label is probably more important than the wine, which is why I’m asking.
So what’s the answer @$75?
Geeky wines are $75. Labels are $40-50…
Ruinart is my solution but I’m thing it’s too geeky.
You are right on the label for sure but I’d like to go just 1/2 inch geekier. Maybe we can tickle the this is cool bone along with the this is good bone.
Veuve is the perfect choice. Not that expensive but people think it’s top level. We give them all the time for company gifts and people love it. It’s because everyone has seen it on the top shelf of the grocery store. It’s about the only thing it’s good for.
Yup, I came here to say exactly this. Always my go to champagne gift for non-wine people if I’m not spending at Dom levels. Peeps dig the label and have usually heard of the producer. Win/win.
