Serious Sweet Champagne Comes Back

[Craig Camp]

Piper-Heidsieck, the Grande Marque of Champagne, has made a notable introduction to the wine and spirits market this month. Cuvee Sublime, Piper-Heidsieck's much-anticipated new premium demi-sec Champagne, has arrived on shelves across the country just in time for this year's celebrations.

"We are very excited to release Cuvee Sublime this season," said Robert Rentsch, brand director at Piper-Heidsieck Champagne. "Champagne is synonymous with holiday celebrations and our new Cuvee Sublime is the perfect accompaniment to intimate celebrations and gatherings this season."

Hehe... suspected this might be something to do with branding and marketing rather than with proper wine making

That said, perhaps if I got hold of a bottle I'd be able to serve my wife some champagne that she actually liked!

I understand how we have to overlook small faults in out beloved, but a woman who doesn't like champagne? Next you'll tell us she doesn't eat chocolate either. 'nuf said.

I concur with that. I don't know many women that don't like champagne. Since it's usually served at my house, however, it's Brut or Extra Brut. Funny ... I never get any complaints.

Well I don't eat chocolate, but I love Champagne. Not so sweet. My husband however, would love the new Piper-Heidsieck

Piper Asti Spumante! I love it. Another marketeers idea to carve out more market share with brand diversification. Didn't Catherine the Great put suger cubes in her Champagne?-Dick
