Champagne tasting evening

Went to this excellent social event at the rowing club last night. We tasted (drank half a glass and didn't spit it out) 8 different champagnes made of different grapes and of different levels of expense - one a particularly special champagne - they were surprisingly different - some quite bland, some yeasty, some rather sour. One was just horrible - all Chardonnay grapes and tasted of nasty Chardonnay.

In conclusion, we found that our favourite - complex but not too yeasty - was a champagne from a supermarket at £12.00 a bottle, which means our tastes are suitable for our modest income!
