First of all though, yes, the Woolworths champagne is the genuine article – a bottle-fermented blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier, produced in Champagne and aged for a minimum 18 months.
First impressions are not good, with cheap-looking neck and front labels and a back label suggesting what pic ‘n’ mix sweets to combine it with. (They recommend chocolate raisins, peach fizzies or strawberry milkshakes and if you’re going to do that, you might as well get a bottle of meths and get really blotto.)

But blow me, it tastes pretty darn good.
It’s an appealing gold colour with faint hints of pink, and the enticingly frothy mousse is followed by a sturdy stream of fine bubbles.
On the palate it is crisp, rounded and fruity with good acidity and a long, toasty finish. It isn’t dry enough for me, but I’ve had a hell of a lot worse at many times the price.
That said, it seems perverse to buy an aspirational product like champagne whilst boasting about how little you paid for it.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
