For my elder daughters wedding we served masses of Henckel Troken,
recommended to me by a Canadian wine taster of the year. Best tip we
ever had, nice price tag and to this day if I have to drink white wine
or champagne, that is what I will pick as my choice. He did
acknowledge a slight difference in flavour, ever so slight, between
that and Moet, but too slight for anyone to be able to tell the
difference after one glass.
