Quote from: sdpThats like buying cheap bubbly; you save a bit of money but you know its cheap and the girl knows its cheap and that ruins it. You start to hate it and turn to 70% white rum and you die of liver failure at just 14yrs old.

You shoulda go for the decent stuff in the first place, or if youre limited to a certain budget a nice Chardonnay or Riesling goes down better than Tesco Value Champagne.

But Ã,£150 buys a lot and you should go for the nicest bottle you can get.


That analogy is total crap, youre insinuating just because it costs Ã,£80 less it cant hold a candle to any of the above and its going to break in 5 seconds.

Agreed.

You wouldnt even hear the difference at all between the two, nevermind any of the features. At the end of the day its function is to play audio files and not break - the Zens happen to be excellent at both.

If your ears can tell the difference between the two through a pair of Ã,£10 ear plugs supplied - analogous to your Champagne - Ill wager your taste buds are also the most receptive ever grown, to which end I insist you depart immediately on a journey to collect the eight greatest chefs from across the globe and aid them in crafting the finest cuisine to ever grace the world.

Ipods are like everything else with an Apple brand on them, they work nicely if you like that sort of thing but they cost the earth for what they do.

Id bet good money that Zen and a pair of decent phones will sound better than Ã,£150 worth of Ipod with the phones that come with it.

Went for the Samsung YP-Z5A 4GB MP3 Player - Black  in the end :)

Having drank champagne from bottles that cost under Ã,£20 and up to Ã,£150 I can clearly state that someone with very little knowledge of the stuff (at least 99% of the population) wouldnt be able to tell the difference and sometimes prefer the cheaper bottle. You shouldnt always go by the name on the label or how pretty the bottle is.

Oh and as for the tesco value champagne its a good idea to know what you are prattling on about before you put it in print.

QuoteThe Tesco entry, which costs Ã,£14.79 per bottle, beat 282 other non-vintage champagnes, including leading names of the champagne world such as Taittinger, Lanson and Mumm, who were among the competitions other entrants.

Actually its quite nice for a bottle of cheapo plonk.

Its a psychology thing though.

imo :)

Ive had 5-6 bottles of the tesco stuff, it aint bad but its personal taste, and I wouldnt buy it again. imo it dont come close even to Moet or that stuff Weatherspoons n Yates do for Ã,£35, just so much nicer to get drunk on :)

imo :)

Bad analogy - point accepted with apologies, I was just saying the creative one isnt as desirable as the more expensive ones.

I apologise to your tastebuds  :)

Serious

You first taste with your eyes, then your nose, your tongue hardly gets a look into the equation. Not surprising as it can only taste sweet, salt, bitter and sour ;)
