Please Raise Your Glasses

Champagne is not a tipple I’ve ever been keen on. The first few times I tried it I couldn’t understand what everybody raved about. It just tasted like a bitter, fizzy wine to me!

That said, maybe it’s just an acquired taste. There have been several formal occassions that I’ve attended over the last few years where I have had to take part in the customary toast with champagne. Recently, I have managed a whole glass without pulling a face!

We recieved three bottles of champagne in our wedding presents which are now safely stored in our fridge and I have to say I am quite looking forward to opening them over Christmas. I guess we can all develop a taste for the finer things in life and there was a huge void that I needed to breach grom my sparkling white wine of years gone by to the developed taste of champagne that I can now enjoy!
