Great selection there. My recommendations would be one of these two;

Although both Break Bottom and Ridgeview also produce some excellent stuff - spoilt for choice

This needs some West Sussex balance, better than Champagne ? who knows but Sussex lands are starting to be brought by French champagne house's as the climate starts favoring us.

This may come as a surprise to many on here, maybe even a shock and you may need to sit down, but there are other counties in this country other than Sussex.
Some even produce alcoholic beverages that are better than Sussex produce.
Sorry to break that news to you.

A German champagne loving friend was first incredulous, and then mocking, of the idea the English make sparkling wine.
We invented it. The method used for Champagne is the same as the method first used in England.

We also currently have a better climate for it than the French, so ours tastes better too.

To educate my ignorant friend, I plan to buy him a bottle after today’s game.
Er, hey Herr Tub, those German cars are shit. Lol, a German car. Seriously?


To save my post-match victory celebration turning into a city wide fizz hunt can someone tell me where to go buy a bottle this evening.
Waitrose, Ridgeview, from Ditchling.

Is your friend a German who loves champagne, or someone who loves German champagne? because if it's the latter it simply doesn't exist. According to the French the grapes that grow champagne must be grown in Champagne, for it to be given that name.
You can also get Californian Champagne.

If you can find it Kingscote Kristen is top notch,Plumpton Estate Fizz pretty decent and good value for money,Ditchling vineyard Black Dog Fizz,Fitz sparkling wine from Worthing,all worth a try.It is so good we have so much top quality English fizz,many of which knock the usual French over-rated muck for six.

All wine tastes the same, like piss.

Having never drunk piss, I cannot compare but bow to your superior experience.

But please share why you drank piss and if it was yours.
Does the taste vary depending on whose piss it is?

PS I love wine :)

Wrong Direction is in fact Redbeard Rum.
Happy to drink piss even before the water ran out.
