I am looking to buy a number of cases of NV champagne for my daughters wedding. These are some of the brands currently on sale widely in the UK. Which do you think is best value:
Pol Roger
Loius Roederer
Bollinger
Moet & Chandon
Veuve Clicquot
Laurent Perrier
Mumm
Perrier Jouet
Tattinger
Alfred Gratien
Deutz
Ruinart

Tattinger, Bollinger, Pol Roger all stand out for me. I haven't had a few of the others so I can't comment.

Shouldn't you figure out which champagne she likes best?

I was pleasantly surprised by a bottle of Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial I had a few weeks ago. I'm not a big fan of Veuve. It's just sort of blah. It could be that I've just had to much of it (it seems to be the standard champagne in NY).

Who doesn't like Champagne?

I personally would go for Pol Roger or Ruinart. The Ruinart bottles are prettier, which may tilt the decision in its favor for a special occasion like a wedding.

I've always enjoyed Tattinger and Perrier Jouet. Veuve Clicquot has a kind of wheaty-ness to it that I don't really care for.

but more importanly, what is the happy couple going to drink? Surely not the same stuff as everybody else. Perhaps some Salon? Krug?
