Just a word of warning that champagne isn’t champagne isn’t champagne!! Before rushing to use the Plat Amex offer and load up on HN own label champagne (made by Lombard & Medot) you may want to read this review by Gentleman’s Journal which gave it a fairly miserly 5.5/10.

QUOTE.We had our worries when we saw the bottle. There’s something a little bit basic about those birds — and even all the flapping and fluttering in the world couldn’t distract us from the bizarre taste of Harvey Nichols own-brand champagne. A frankly baffling bottling, it’s almost salty; a seaweed-tinged tipple with a sharp, bitter finish. Considering the department store’s usual stringent standards, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth — literally. UNQUOTE

Wish I had seen this before I ordered. Hey ho. Guess everyone has different taste buds.
