Champagne is such a memorable experience, making you feel dizzy and lightheaded almost instantly –in a good way of course. Those little golden bubbles dance on your tongue and invite you to imbibe more and more. It really makes an occasion special and shows that whoever supplies the Champagne really cares.

True, it is expensive. But for many people, it adds a level of excitement to proceedings that few other drinks can muster. In a word, Champagne makes you feel special – and it makes those around you feel special – like they are taking part in something that will be remembered for a long time.

When I say remembered, that might not be totally accurate because if you have too much of this lovely, famous imbibe, you may not remember just how much fun you had. Not to worry though, just ensure you have lots of those disposable cameras lying around so that people will capture those fun moments fuelled by all that bubbly. Just make sure you have plenty of it as it goes quickly – and everyone will want a glass!

Look out for deals on Champers as they do crop up from time to time – important if you’re having a big get together.
