To cut a longer explanation short, if you go and buy a German Reisling at around the same price, you'll probably get a similar styled wine. Googling Piesporter Wine still shows plenty of places selling it.

Hi pals,
Wanting to treat someone to a bottle of champagne to celebrate something. Is the following decent for £40, or is there something better in the up to £50 bracket?

POL ROGER BRUT RÉSERVE
Champagne Pol Roger Brut Réserve (in gift box) NV
The favourite of Winston Churchill, this extremely special Champagne owes its finesse to the Pol-Roger family’s insistence on remaining small and keeping an obsessive eye on quality. A long, slow maturation has added to its sublime, complex aromas.

Pol Roger is decent. Reasonable offer on Bollinger and Veuve there as well. Any Champagne is usually well received!!
