Go to Deal

OK… so we're not talking $3 bottle of wine here…. but this is one of the best champagnes out there… frankly consistently the best in my opinion. Sometimes a house will knock out a vintage that might be better, but for the most part a bottle of this will knock anything else out of the cellar, figuratively speaking. Normal price for a bottle is around $295 at Dans. Buy six, and it would drop to $280. Buy six here, and save $85 per bottle.

Better news - checked Dans and they have dropped the 'any six' price to $198 for a bottle. Not as good as this, but if you only want one to celebrate something very special, then you can always get one from Dans and make up the other 5 bottles with some $3 cleanskins…. go on…. use some of that money you've saved on other things through ozbargain… you know you want to… perhaps combine it with a $5 burrito <grin>

    http://www.winemarket.com.au/DOM-PERIGNON-2002-6 this is a better deal as you're saving more, also Dom > Krug any day.

      sorry, but you're comparing multi-vintage krug vs single-vintage dom

      krug grande cuvee is considered the best non-vintage champagne

      like vs like, krug > dom any day - ask any true wine connoisseur :)

    • PlasticSpaceman on 31/10/2012 - 17:18

      Dom is a good drop, very well made, and all power to those who like/prefer it. It is a vintage champagne which means it does vary from year to year, and isn't always available. Again, from a consistency perspective (I believe) it's hard to beat Krug - especially if you prefer a drier wine with the oaky/nutty flavour versus the cleaner (arguably more clinical - but personally I don't think that can be a bad thing!) styles that spend a lot of their early lives in stainless steel. Personally (for french fizz) I'm old school and like the additional flavour you get from the maturation in small oak barrels that Krug still goes through.

      • shmahoo on 31/10/2012 - 17:20

      Ah. A long time ago I was single. I owned my own house, no mortgage, and had two sports cars. I used to buy vintage Pol Roger by the dozen and drink the older vintage(s) (my general rule of thumb was never to drink the current release, but let that age for a bit) with my spag bol, pizza, or take away chinese. Krug was for special occasions, but yes I have drunk a few bottles in my time. The price has changed over the years though - the first bottle I bought would have cost well under $100.

      It was a sad and lonely life. I didn't know what I was missing. Now I have children. ;-)

          Not how wine prices work.

          A $600 Penfolds Grange is not 40 times better than a $15 Kilkanoon Shiraz (a good wine in its own right) but the Grange is a lot more sought after.

          Besides, the deal is $195 per bottle - how many 'good' Australian sparkling wines are available for $6.50?

    How abount comparing itg to a $30 bottle of Aussie bubbly, not spewmante.

    • PlasticSpaceman on 31/10/2012 - 21:00
      +8

      Fair point. But I wasn't saying that it was this or a $3 bottle - that's a strawman (informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position) argument. You can't compare a $30 Aussie bubbly (let alone a $3 bottle of plonk) with a top Champagne. Now that's a false dilemma or dichotomy. They are different. A better question is, is the Krug worth $200? Well, possibly not… definitely not if you don't like champagne or are more than happy with cheaper alternatives. I would note that the amount of labour/effort (ie costs) involved in producing a bottle of Krug (I've been to their winery) is significantly more than that required to produce a typical bottle of wine so it is understandable that it would cost more.

      As an aside, for a decent aussie sparkler, I'd currently recommend the Grant Burge (http://www.cellarmasters.com.au/wines/Grant-Burge-Pinot-C017…) at $144 for 6 or so. Can be found around the traps for around the $18 mark…. actually, vintagecellars I think have a special on the blanc de blanc for $30 for two bottles….

      Last year upon presenting my grandmother with a $55 bottle of Mumm for her birthday, she nodded at it and began to tell us how she much prefers Krug. I thought $55 champagne was okay, but I have been assured otherwise… So IMO good bargain, because $300 wine is never an option in my family, but at this price… okay, she's still not getting it, but you get the point. If you've got the money, this is a great deal.

      Yes, true… but not all people who enjoy wine are 'wine wankers'. Some spend a lot of time and effort developing their skills so that indeed they can identify wines in a blind (double or not) test. Personally I just enjoy drinking! Sadly a lot of people equate the cost of something with the quality - these things definitely are not always related. As we OZbargainers know, something can be cheap but good quality… or expensive and rubbish.
