My dad is 65 on Sunday, and I'm looking at buying him a bottle of Champagne.

I'm disabled, so having limited options on where to get it and a budget of £35/£40 pounds.

Nearest shops are Convience versions of Tesco and Coop. And online Amazon or I noticed this morning Moonpig do some.

Dad is going to a Tesco Extra on Friday, He would get me a bottle there, but he wouldn't be honest with the price, he would lower it, and plus I don't really want him to see what I bought

I live in the Nantwich, Sandbach, Holmes Chapel area in Cheshire.
If you live in that area or close to, I could willingly help you in some way.

Live in Bristol.

I was more interested, in what users would recommend of in the Champagne range, in the affordability I can manage.

And what I would find at a Convience Store or online

Can't help at all sorry.
Husband and myself don't drink, I do know the boys drink but I think it is just cider and wine.

Online, everything! Convenience store.. probably not so much.. Then again-

Taittinger's my favorite, to me crisp, dry & fruity. Not as sweet as Moet & some of the other popular brands. Or more expensive, but a lovely summer picnic drink-

Thanks for the suggestions will probably have to get something tomorrow.

I have bought champagne from the convenience stores nearby before, they seem to do a cheap, a middle and an expensive.

But only ever seem to have a bottle of each on the shop floor, so it is take your luck

Just get him some Tesco Cava or Prosecco. He'll never notice the difference.

I've heard that Aldi sell champagne at £9.99 a bottle (or maybe £10.99) that is suppose it good, even with champagne drinkers.

It's not a drink that I particularly enjoy so I can't comment personally.
