They target smaller marks, less prestigious versions but equally as good and much, much cheaper. The problem with this is that they do not always have the same thing on sale the following week.<br /><br />Incidentally, wrt Champagne, there are better sparkling wine available at a quarter of the price.<br /><br />One, if you can find it in the UK, is Cremant D'Alsasce. It is made from the same grapa varieties as Champagne form soil similar to Champagne. €5 for a bottle which beats £25 Champagne would be a great find in Freuchie. Henri Peter is the mark and they do a Rosé version as well--remember Champagne is made based on a red grape.<br /><br />http://www.intothewine.fr/fiche-vin/alsace/-/henri-peter-cremant-d-alsace-brut-rose<br /><br />Sorry it is VFrench<br /><br />LIDL is excellent with packaged meats and do frozen Brazilian beef steaks. Their wine are keich though with good German beers to balance that.<br /><br />LIDL also have weird things at odd times. A few years ago I bought an electric microscope for €100 which allowed me to take digital photographs of stuff for my business. <br /><br />Finally back to Champagne. If you can't get Henri Peter just but Lindaur sparkling wine from NZ. <br /><br /> Like is too short for poor Champagne.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-5584797126922011662012-11-30T22:22:30.944+00:002012-11-30T22:22:30.944+00:00The Scorpion and the Frog

Friend is, of course, absolutely correct. I have a great deal of sympathy for his point, but I accept that agreement has been entered into that the terms of the referendum have been broadly decided, although they have yet to be finally decided in the Scottish Parliament. I accept that the Scottish Parliament will decide on the franchise for the referendum and that, in doing so, it is unlikely to decide that people throughout the entire United Kingdom should have a vote in the referendum, but although those people will not have a vote in the referendum, they must have a voice in the debate. That will be provided in this Parliament and throughout all parts of the United Kingdom."<br /><br />Sooooo.... what they are saying is that if the UK or England decides to withdraw from the European Union, as it will affect the lives of the people of Estonia and Bulgaria, Malta and France, they should all be allowed to vote on it.
