Xmas is around the corner and one of the traditional bragging rights as we Nigerians are the buzz and glamour we create during Christmas, from carnivals , shopping, wedding, club night outs and birthdays with friends.

There is no doubt that xmas in Nigeria is a unique life time experience but since the dwindling economy , Nigerians are now more wary about the type of products they purchase and are now looking for value for money.

Price, Quality , Customer experience are now what Nigerians consider important before putting their money where there mouth is, gone are those days of over priced product :-)

Before I go on, I must first say that I am a wine and champagne lover and always love events that champagnes and wines are served, now that I have gotten that out of the way.

I will like to share my 4 choices of wines and champagnes this festive season, and I would give reasons why and this is after a thorough research on big online stores like Jumia, Retails Stores, Main markets and personal opinion that i have arrived at the comparison between Torley, Moet, Veve Du Vennay, and Andre

MOET:

Facts and Background: The legendary Moët & Chandon is celebrating 270 years as the world’s most loved champagne. For over a quarter of a millennium, the renowned French winemaker has been sharing the magic of champagne across the globe. Every glass overflows with the House’s hallmark values of history, generosity, savoir-faire, success, boldness and elegance—values still at the heart of its global appeal. Toward the end of the 18th century, Jean-Remy Moët, grandson of founder Claude Moët, became famous as the man who introduced champagne to the world. The important figures of the era, from the Marquise de Pompadour to Talleyrand to Napoleon quickly fell in love with the House’s effervescent wine. Moët & Chandon was soon the icon of success and elegance that it remains to this day. Moët has been associated with the sparkle of success and glamour ever since the House was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët.

TORLEY:

My conclusion , while i still think Moet is classy for your occasions and still rules most of the top choice for events, Torley which is relatively gaining market grounds is a well designed, quality and great tasting wine for your glamorous event, when compared to value for money , quality and price, Torley stands, a simple research will convince you.

I do think that Andre has been around the market for a long time and people are beginning to see it as an everyday people wine anyone and any event you go to probably would have an Andre served as it appeals to people who cannot afford the Moet and Belaire, though I have not added Belaire to this as i think it’s more of club and lounges that people are comfortable to chun out that huge amount of money to buy.

Veuve du Vernay however which has the white variety would had been my choice as alternative to Torley but Torley also has the white packaging, when you review the Torley white packaging side by side with Veuve du Vernay,then you would understand why I have picked Torley as the best choice , at least in my own opinion.

Although choices may vary for people , as some have all the money in the bank this xmas to spend but for those of us who want to know where our 1 naira went before you head out to shop this xmas , then consider price, value for money in your choices.


Merry Xmas to all NAIRALANDERS in advance.

By the time you taste one of these top selections, you will find no taste in all these green bottle drinks.

I was more of a Trophy guy just like you, but after I decided to see what real alcohol taste like, I disliked Trophy or any other green bottle drink immediately... I think I started with "Baron" then

You should try one of them someday
