Is Veuve Clicquot Brut a good champagne?

It is a mass-market Champagne. Easily available all over the world. Quality is pretty standard in its price range. So, there is nothing wrong with buying it. It is absolutely okay to give it as a present.

There are several layers of price/quality of Champagne:

I personally do not buy it because I know alternatives which have better value for money. But when I am in a store, say in Central Africa, and there is nothing else available I would take it.

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

There are mass-market Champagnes, the big brands which everybody knows. Standard quality, some are slightly better than others. Price range: € 29–40. Some examples: Lanson (often a good bet), Piper-Heidsick (also good value for money), Laurent Perrier (one of my favourites), Taittinger, Moet & Chandon, Veuve Cliquot, Bollinger, Pol Roger, Perrier Jouet, G.H. Mumm, Roederer…

There are cheapish products with unknown names or fantasy names (like Grand Plaisir). Most of them are not recommendable. Price range: € 15–25. Better take a good crémant instead.

There are luxury Champagnes which are also produced by the big mass-market wineries: Ruinart (somewhat in between standard and luxury quality), Dom Perignon, Roederer Crystal, Krug…

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

There are Champagnes from small, family-owned wineries. They are usually the best bets, but you have to know them. Often you have to import them directly. Price range: € 18–25.
