champagne in plastic bottles

[septemberwillow]

I took some Lidl prosecco last year. Had it all chilled when we left on Weds morning, ready to crack open after the tent erection Ended up drinking it on Sunday evening, sitting in the Pyramid field on our camping chairs watching Blur. It was no longer chilled and we washed it down with some M&S tortilla chips whilst boogeying to 'TRA-CEY JACKS' - top evening

It is absolutely fine as long as you remember it's in a can and it comes from Lidl. If I'd drunk it cold, I reckon it would have been pretty damn good.

Repeated from the traditions thread:

The Deluxe Diner sells both champagne and a cheaper alternative on site. Hefty deposit required on the bottle ensures it's returned.

good shout, for a one off treat the Cava could be worth it. Cheers for the info!

Where is the Delux Diner?

what about this?

Spoke to a wine merchant yesterday, apparently Champagne needs to be a 6 times barometric pressure, and there isn't a plastic bottle available that can cope with that. A plastic champagne bottle is something of a holy grail for champagne manufacturers apparently.

As above.

The only way you'll be able to do this is to pour it in to your own plastic bottle. If you do it just before the fest (eg. when you park up) it'll stay fizzy for a fair while.

Boxed Westons Organic at 7.4% certainly does the trick, best for breafast, say 10am each morning, starts the day off well!!
