Where is the best place to buy a bottle of champagne?

Do Big C /Tops sell them

I looked on Shopee and see a seller in Malaysia but will it get taxed in Thailand ?

Also after a bottle of Baileys as its near Christmas and love to add a bit in the morning coffee and my bottle i bought for christmas went months ago but i have seen these for sale in Big C.

If you’re in Pattaya then VinesToVino, or mail order but need to spend 4,500 baht to get free delivery.

I order my Wines from Vines to Vino - They have  a large selection including several champagnes.  Although I usually order enough to get free deliver,  I don't believe their fee for delivery in Pattaya is very much - If I recall correctly, they will also ship elsewhere in Thailand.  Link: https://vinestovino.store/

I only deal with 2 wine merchants, 90% from VinesToVino and 10% from Wine Pro.  I prefer Prosecco to Champagne, I don't see the value in Champagne, you have to spend a fortune to get anything drinkable.

 

I buy a specific Rioja & a Douro from Wine Pro and everything else from VinesToVino.  I like that VinesToVino lists Vivino scores on many of their wines and it saves me time in looking them up.  I don't trust Vivino completely, but if it's a high score then I usually ask Ray (the owner) what he thinks of that wine and he will often recommend a wine with a low (or no) score that is particularly good.

MSRP's are tightly controlled here, resulting in the same prices EVERYWHERE.

 

If there are "promotions," everyone matches them.

 

Yes, sometimes there is mislabeling in a price.

 

You want French? Non-vintage? 75 cl?

 

Veuve Cliquot 2,419 (Tops, Villa ) 

Deutz 3,000

Pol Roger 4,060

 

Bailey's (original, they make like 50 different flavors now) is widely available here. 70 cl, 1,210 at Tops.

In my experience, VinesToVino offers significantly better prices than everywhere else, and a much higher quality too.

 

You can get a very good wine from them for as little as 406 baht (Partager, I buy it for neighbours of mine who don't want to order enough for free delivery) and an excellent wine for as little as 460 baht comparable with wines at double that price elsewhere.

Meh. This doesn't make sense. "Higher quality than what"? Sheesh. Foodland has first growths, not that I'd buy them there.

Is this champagne? (No.)

 

That said, Vinestovino does have a nice Champagne selection, the Bollinger NV at 2,499 pops. Same price everywhere in Thailand.

...and I can pay by credit card for online orders  -  unlike Wine Pro.

Tops use to have the better wine-collection, I've also seen Baileys in Tops.

Tops on Samui is different, focus on tourists in Central.

Here in Pattaya Tops is on the dark side where tourists never go.

Bought a bottle of baileys in Tops

Sparkling wine seems a good choice thanks

Could you be specific on these as I can add them to my list to look at.

I need to go and replenish and always looking for good value Rioja that I haven't tried. Thanks

Thanks very much. Looks like a great site and excellent prices. I have an order in my basket but it won't accept that I don't have a Thai phone number. With esim and whatsapp/messenger i really don't usually need it. Hopefully they'll get back to me with a suggestion.

Bubbles from Champagne district is the only brand name called Champagne 

Bubbles from other districts in France than Champagne  is called Cremant

Bubbles from Italy is called Prosecco 

Bubbles from Spain is called Cava

 

both Italy and Spain do have quality bubbles that is up to half the price of same quality of Champagne.

From Wine Pro I buy…

 

Cerro Anon, a Gran Riserva Rioja at 850 plus VAT.  I have 5 other Rioja’s here but Cerro Anon is a class above. I have another case arriving next week.

 

I like Graca 28 Riserva Douro, it’s 550 plus VAT, it’s just a nice wine, nothing special just easy to drink.

 

VinesToVino do a stunning Douro but it’s out of stock for some time to come, it’s called Confidencial, I’m down to my last 4 bottles.

 

I hope this helps.

I would be happy to give you examples, but from the tone of your reply I suspect your question to be rhetorical.

 

If you’re serious, tell me the type of wine or price range and I’ll be happy to elucidate.

For me it’s about the grape, Prosecco is mostly Glera and the best Prosecco comes from Trevise. Not all Italian sparkling is Prosecco, I don’t like Asti Spumante or other types and I’m not a fan of Spanish Cava either.

 

For me it’s Prosecco if I’m paying or good Champagne if I’m not.

Depending on the district as well, not only the grape, and Spain do have some great cava in comparison with anything else. Just a matter of taste and experience. Small details can make the whole difference 

Well, last year, I found some reasonably priced in Pattaya, at the Food Mart next to the airport bus station, near the intersection of Thappraya Rd and Thepprasit Rd.

By the way, where could I find empty champagne bottles?

I need some to make my mango sparkling wine, champagne method, or to brew a Belgian Abbey beer...

I live in Loei, but I go to Jomtien at the end of the year, to spend a family holiday, and meet some friends...

 

We used to go to Spain as children and my dad brought Freixenet, I didn’t like it when I was a child and I still don’t.

 

I haven’t tried any others, maybe I should.

Same here, Freixenet is a good one, another worth trying : Codorniu...

Freixnet is bubbles Leo 😉 

 

they have a couple of ok, but those supermarcado 4 euro bottles, is more for the show than anything else. 

 

Check with google or even vivino and get some more information about the district and winery, and also how normal people rate the product. Not always the most expensive that taste the best just for a zip or two at special days

Thank you guys

However, my suggestion seemed to work well for OP; he got what he was looking for in Tops...

Thanks - yes I have tried the Cero Anon and agree. I will try the Douro if they have it when I go next week. Cheers
