LIDL champagne beats top brands

Good news for food or drink producers trying to compete with bigger labels – Lidl champagne has scored higher in a Which? blind tasting than more expensive brands.

Lidl’s Comte de Brismand Champagne, awarded the Which? Best Buy, scored 80pc in the blind tasting and was ranked above well-known labels Lanson, Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot – all of which retail at significantly more than the Lidl offering, priced at under €18.

Speaking about the achievement Aoife Clarke from Lidl said: “Again Lidl have shown that you really don’t need to break the bank to get quality products. The blind test clearly showed that our Comte de Brismand Champagne outperforms some of the biggest brands while also being a fraction of the price.”
