Perfect for toasting nuptials, celebrating football wins or even just summer gatherings in the long-awaited warmer weather, the American wine expert describes the taste as "a blend of Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier" is produced by the Jonasan family - a highly esteemed winemaker and champagne house.

David tells followers that the cheap champers has flavours of "apple, citrus and brioche" and that it "pairs incredibly with white fish, caviar, fried chicken, cheese and salty potato chips too."
