Freixenet isn't too bad is it?
I mean, there are worse sparkling wines out there, right? :shrug:

1. Freixenet is pretty good
actually.

It's a good sparkling wine and is very cost effective.

2. Ice-cold, it's drinkable.
Anything warmer than Absolute Zero, though, and it's throat-stripper.

4. That's what I just bought for me.
I bought some local sweet sparkling wine for the dude. I'll probably end up drinking both. :P

5. That's the sparkly that I always keep on hand in case of emergency. Good stuff!
And not very expensive.

And makes wonderful Mimosas, and, truthfully, mixes well with all fruit juices.

10. I don't think pineapple would work well, unless you really like pineapple juice.
I don't like the juice at all (though I love pineapple!).

Peach, nectarine, pear, and apricot juices are all good with sparkling wine.

6. As a purveyor of fine wines and spirits
I say, no it's not.

I've always liked Friexenet and it's my choice for an everyday, budget sparkling wine. :hi:

9. I don't like it. I'd prefer Cook's champagne. But at least it isn't that heinous shit from Ontario
I don't remember the name, but Ontario is no place to make wine!
