Epernay: [noun]- a champagne bar in Leeds

On Wednesday February 23rd the Wine Society had a champagne/sparkling wine night at Epernay.  We had 5 samples of champagne (Bollinger, Moet and Chandon, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot and Sainsbury's Blanc De Noirs) and 5 samples of sparkling wines (Roche Lacour, Prosecco Ca' Rosa, Deutz Cuvee Brut NV, Lindauer Brut NV and M&S Prosecco).  One of the many intelligent things that the Leeds University Union organizes is Give It A Go, or GIAG, events with a lot of the Union's societies which allows people to try out the society with out fully committing to the society and paying the joining fee.  This champagne night was one of those GIAG events so there were about 75 people at the event.  Needless to say, it was a fantastic night.

Epernay before it was filled with 70 champagne drunk students

They had champagne bottle candle holders all around the room, it looked beautiful!  I want to try to make one myself.
