Claire Rogers All about wine www.sunlive.co.nz

If you are looking for good Champagne for Christmas at an excellent price (only $59 a bottle), then make sure you get to Liquorland and pick up a bottle of Piper Champagne. You'll find Liquorland at the corner of Cameron Road and Sixth Avenue and opposite Bayfair shopping mall at 1 Owens Place.

While you are there, be sure to check out the rest of the wine range, including some interesting Spanish wines. It is great to try something different, perhaps a garnacha, a tempranillo or a Bordeau. The Liquorland team are on hand to give you advice and they really know their stuff.

Back to the Champagne; Piper is lovely and crisp, serve it chilled on Christmas morning with some oysters as the perfect way to start the day.

Have an excellent Christmas, catch you in the New Year. Check out the video interview with Jose the French manager at Liquorland Tauranga on www.sunlive.co.nz
