Spring UK champagne deals

Friday 20 May 2005 • 1 min read

Those British planning June weddings or large celebrations who can’t be bothered to cross the Channel for cheap fizz should check out Majestic’s current offer.

Until 29 aug they are offering three bottles for the price of two on 26 champagnes and sparkling wines, but from today until 06 jun that offer applies to every single bottle in their stores with a (deliberate) sparkle in it. For example, so long as you need three bottles, the per bottle prices are reduced thus, until 06 jun (I’ve put what look like the best buys to me in bold):

Perrier Jouet and Laurent Perrier NV down from £24.99 to £16.66 a bottle

Pol Roger NV down from £25.99 to £17.32

Bollinger down to £21.66, Krug Grande Cuvée and Dom P 1996 down from a surely inflated £100 to £66.65.

Meanwhile Lea & Sandeman have a special offer on the very special wines of Champagne Ruinart. R de Ruinart NV comes down from £27.95 to £20.95 a bottle if bought as part of a mixed case.
