I'm not a fan of Rose ( acute missing, because I don't know how to do it).

£25 is OK for a Veuve, but you could probably get that price in a supermarket when it's on offer (and with a good stock turnaround likely).

I'd be more tempted by the £75 2000 Bolly smile

Likewise!

Out of the bottles in question it was more the Bolly (rose & std) and Tattinger I was after.

We sell the Bolly Grande Annee 2000 for £60 a bottle. The prices look ok, but for label damage, i would try to push them down.

Hi Tony. None of these look stunning value, and actually most are near normal retail prices, so I'm not quite sure where the owner got the prices from! As an example, Hailsham and Majestic both have the 2000 Grand Annee for 60 a bottle.
As others have said, you're much better waiting for an offer in a supermarket, or one of the 30% off sales at Majestic.

Hi Simon wavey Thanks for the confirmation. I know the average prices of the daily drinkables such as Veuve yellow but wasn't too sure on the more upmarket Bollies. TBH I had a feeling this may be the case so will look elsewhere.

Hope you're well BTW...

I am well - thanks. Just a bit hectic at work! Waiting for the humidity and heat to break so I can venture outdoors...
I'll try and call if you're around at the weekend?
