Champagne guide Tyson Stelzer: 2008 is going to be great

Get ready for 2008, Mr Champagne says. It is approaching fast and set to be a great year. One of the best. Mr Champagne is aware we are on the cusp of 2016 and that the year of the Beijing Olympics is so last decade. He’s talking about the 2008 vintage, which champagne houses are releasing now to hit the all-important festive season. Bottles from this vintage are set to be far better than 2006 vint¬ages, still widely available.
