very true @Vince, and your champagne is lovely :)
from the guardian piece:
"The Co-operative Les Pionniers Champagne NV (£16.99, The Co-operative)
No apologies for returning once again to this tried and tested pinot noir, pinot meunier, chardonnay blend in this year’s festive 50. Made for the Co-operative by the excellent P&C Heidsieck, it’s still fabulous value, still wonderfully rich and biscuity with incisive acidity and creamy mousse, and still the standout supermarket own-label champagne."

Thanks @rive_gauche !
(and thanks for the additional Champagne datasheet).
We've just released our 2010 Blanc de Blancs this week - 1,000 bottles made in total.

Champagne named after the Rochdale pioneers... times, and The Co-op', have changed!

Price wise - it is definitely affordable.
However no details about grape variety, age of the blended wines or dosage.
Also there aren't any details about the 'blind tasting' details either - and it doesn't look like a great one either as they have pitched Blanc de Blancs / Blancs de Noirs / other against each other.
Just like pitching bikes against each other with frames made of steel/alloy/carbon and without detailing the equipment. There will be a winner, that's for sure but do the results actually mean anything?
Anyway - all this to say that you should buy Champagne from my vineyard... Trade price for LFGSS and free London delivery (by bike!)
