Bollinger Special Cuvee NV Champagne/ Half Bottle

Helena Kosta — Reliable as always

7/10

Keep coming back to Bollinger Special Cuvee because it never disappoints. The half bottle is handy for midweek when a full 75cl would be overkill. Generous fruit, proper structure, and it doesn't taste thin like some NV champagnes can. Good stuff if you can stomach the price.

Yasmine Najjar — Perfect half bottle for two

8/10

Grabbed this for date night because we never finish a full bottle of champagne before it goes flat. Really impressive stuff — rich and full flavoured but still crisp and refreshing. At £32.50 for a half bottle it's not cheap, but it's Bollinger so you know what you're getting.

Adaobi Eze — The half bottle is genius

Why don't more champagnes come in halves?? This is ideal for when you just want a couple of glasses without committing to a full bottle. Tastes rich and almost toasty, with enough acidity to keep it lively. Treated myself on a Friday night and zero regrets.
