[grin] I won't ask whether anyone here knows anything about champagne, but I don't, personally.

We've got some bottles in the office, left over from an event, and the Fundraising department is wondering where on the scale of "good" to "pour down sink with nose held shut" they are ...

According to the label, it's "Sarcey Brut Champage Champagne", with "Private Cuvée", but there's nothing so classy as a date.

What is this stuff?

The acid test is "would [livejournal.com profile] moral_vacuum or [livejournal.com profile] mmcpoland drink it sober?" ;)

[grin] How would anyone ever know?

Dur: open a bottle and see!

Yes, but you'd need to find D or M sober for that test ... [grin]

And no point my drinking it - I'd just go "Yep, it's champagne. Very nice. Can I have some mead now, please please please?"

WGT! WGT! WGT!

*Bounces and contemplates how long it will take her to get to the mead stall once there*

The easy test is: am I seeing 3 of you, and have I ripped the label off, popped the cork and poured it everywhere? If the answer to one or more of those is yes, it means I'm plastered and it could be any kind of old muck.

M&S Oudinot falls into this category.

i forgot to add...."and therefore not worth drinking".

Heck, it's Friday tomorrow, why don't you all open the stuff up and dispose of it properly? Have some juice or cassis to hand in case it is tres grim and finish the week off on a high.

personally, I'm having a champagne & canapes do on a terrace just off Tottenham Court Rd...

If you get it to us early enough in the evening, of course.
