Granny enjoys a cocktail or two. It’s interesting what alcoholic beverages can do for a staid, stiff social situation.
One of Granny’s favorite libations is champagne. Bubbly, golden fabulous deliciousness…and hey, you look great drinking it too!
Because Granny isn’t a billionaire, she often opts for “sparkling wine” — here are some options you can consider leaving in your fridge for those emergency moments when guests “drop” in or if you’re just having a day.
1. Sofia Champagne (average $22)
Crinkly pink packaging and a light, fresh taste make this a winner. Plus, it’s a Coppola creation! How could you go wrong?
2. Chandon (average $18)
Ah…Chandon. You are just cheap enough to pass for straight drinking rather than having to hide in a mimosa. Plus you don’t taste like puke (see Andre under this heading) and you look respectable enough to leave out on the counter. Blanc de noirs (the pink version of this) makes you feel like a flapper.
3. Scharffenberger (avge $16)
It’s like buttah. At Bev Mo, you can get this bad boy for a cool $15.99 and those adorable wine writers at the Wall Street Journal have picked this time and again for a special occasion. What’s the ultimate Granny Fab experience? Having this bad boy on tap while you watch American Idol by yourself. Here’s to you, David Archuleta.
