Champagne drinking on the up in UK

Moet & Chandon, Lanson, Veuve Clicquot, Laurent-Perrier and Bollinger - the top five Champagne brands in the UK have seen sales rise substantially over the last five years. These brands account for two-thirds of all UK sales while the rise in consumption, across the sector, has soared by 30 per cent in five years, with consumers drinking £890 million (over a billion and a half US$) worth of bubbly last year.

While a great deal of the rise can be attributed to the ever growing prosperity - I don't know the actual figures but Britain has enjoyed a long, long run in industrial growth and low inflation - some of the rise can be accounted for by a fall in prices; the average price of champagne has fallen by about 4 per cent since 2000, while sparkling wine has seen a 10 per cent average drop.
