Have a bottle of San Michel extra dry in the fridge for the wife. I gave up champagne after New year's 2001. A friend had collected vintage bottles for the occasion. All I got out of it was a splitting headache after the second glass.

I guess it would help if I knew what a cremant was.

Crémant is a group of sparkling wines made with the same technique as Champagne, but from outside the Champagne region

No cremant here, wife got a bottle of aubrey brut at her office for christmas, and I'm bracing up for the annual

It's french, a brut, and I've never had a french champagne that didn't taste like bottled liver disease.
