Supermarket Champagne vs Veuve Clicquot: A Sommelier's Blind Taste Test

supermarketSupermarket champagne vs Veuve Clicquot — a sommelier's blind taste test that shows exactly what a 300% price gap actually pays for. If you've ever stood in front of a supermarket wine shelf wondering whether the £15 bottle is really worse than the £45 one, this video answers it honestly.

Anya Gariboldi, a professional sommelier, wine judge and DipWSET graduate, explains how Tesco, Aldi, Waitrose, Lidl and other private label wines actually work — and which 3 categories you can safely buy.
