Great Champagnes at affordable prices in restaurants ?

      Most quality restaurants offer the opportunity to accompany your meal with a great Champagne. The sommelier (wine waiter) or the restaurant waiter can help to guide indecisive customers to choose the blend, which will harmonise the best with the dishes selected but staying loyal to your preferred Brand is a guarantee of pleasure !

      Concerning the current prices, they are freely fixed by each chef; it must be noted that a certain number agree to operate a policy, which makes the price of great Champagne particularly accessible :
      . they have abandoned the ancient custom of a "multiplication coefficient", applied indifferently in a simplistic manner on the price of the wines presented on their menu,
      . they have adopted a fixed rate justified by the restaurant's service without considering the purchase value of the product.

      These dynamic chefs, pay particular attention to their clientele and thus allow them to enhance the meals taken in their restaurants with great wines of quality, which previously, were unfortunately made inaccessible by the multiplication coefficient practice. The Great Brands and Houses have welcomed and encouraged their initiative (and so have several reputed gastronomic guides).
