Good place for buying champagne in Dublin?

Saskia · 2007-02-21 00:23:34

Most Off Licenses Ive checked only seem to carry wine. Is there anywhere in the city centre that sells a good selection of champagne? If they have a website a link would be great too.

At the other end of the scale, Aldi do a nice spumante from time to time, if you like sweet things it's nicer than some of the plonk that goes under the "champagne" name.

Marks & Spencers do great Cava's and sparkling wine. Just as good as Champers! Odd bins, Tesco and Dunnes sometimes have good deals also.

I would advise you get Asti instead! Much nicer stuff.
You know before you try champagne you think it will be lovely sweet stuff and then you find out its bitter and dry? Asti tastes like champagne should (not to be mistaken with Lambrusco).
M&S does it as well as any decent Tesco etc. Any decent Off license should also do it like Oddbins or Cellers.

Champagne in Dublin is a toatl rip-off.Yer best bet is drive up to newry(an hour or less) and buy yer champers in sainsbury's,its about half the price even with the currency difference
