I don't usually drink at all, but I have tried a lot of champagne.
My favourite is Bollinger and it has nothing to do with the Bond connection like some friends of mine seem to think.
It's the only one that goes down easy - maybe that is a bad thing!? )
Cheers,

Mo-aye darling.... never mo-et, crickey that is a hanging offence )
Oh, it most certainly is not!! Quite the opposite, in fact! :v Moët et Chandon is indeed a French company and based in the Champagne region, but Moët is not a French name - it is Dutch - and therefore does not have a silent 't'. In the French language, even if there were no umlaut to force the 't' out, (Moet), the 't' would still be heard because of the following word 'et'.
The correct pronunciation, is M'wett.
Freddie Mercury misled everyone on Killer Queen, I'm afraid.
Hmm, that's a bit like valay or valette... (valet) some argue either is the superior way for those in the know.
Problem is, while I'm grateful to Moonie for correcting this, it would be very hard to say M'wett and then not get into a one-upmanship game with someone in real life about the pronunciation.

If I asked for some M'wett - I'd probably be given a very funny look and told to look down the 'feminine product' isle!!
