In these current hard times, we're all after a recession-busting treat to beat the blues. Whilst classing Champagne as an essential is stretching things a bit, there's no denying a glass of bubbles can make even the heaviest heart glad. Fortnum & Mason are offering a decent 15% off their Champagne of the Month when you buy a case- look on it as mood insurance- and as a bonus, you can mix varieties and vintages. Kick things off this month in style with Laurent Perrier, then sup on Louis Roederer and Pol Roger over your summer hols (even if all this amounts to is a hammock in your garden!). Details of other months' specials are at www.fortnumandmason.com.
