You gotta know it is going to be great wine when it is being promoted to
drink with ice. Freixenet ranks up there with Prosseco as a cheap
substitute for champagne, and notice that I said a cheap substitute, not
a good one. If I were ever to serve Mimosas I would be more likely to
make them with Freixenet or some other cheap sparkling white. I see no
point in using an expensive champagne to make a slightly alcoholic Orangina.
