Anything that resembles Champagne that isn't from France is Sparkling Wine.

I worked in threshers for 3 years, if anyone ever came in and asked that I used to say we didnt sell it. If they're too fucking stupid to know what it is then they shouldnt be allowed to drink it

Did you have a Champagne fixture in your shop? We had one at Waitrose. People would come up to is and ask me if we sold any other Chanpagnes, I would show them the Cristal and Krug which was behind the counter and say thats our entire selection to which they usually say, oh that's ok then and then wander off. They would then usually come back to me with a bottle of Frexinet and try and tell me that we sold other champagnes which were just on the other side of the shop to which I just roll my eyes. To some people I pointed out that that was in fact no champagne, but most people are too stupid to care what the difference is.

What if you couldn't care less what it's called or where it's from but you needed champagne for some reason or someone had sent you in for it

Put it this way John, if you work in a wine shop you get so many idiots coming in things like this tend to rub you up the wrong way. The worst customers are always the smokers, they are all such grumpy cunts. Or the kids who ask for 10 Embasy. There is no such thing!!!

If you are going to save it for christmas keep it in a cool cupboard on it's side instead of the fridge
