Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin - Verve Clikoh Ponsarrdhan

Moet et Chandon - Moway eh Sharndon
Louis Roederer - Loowee Roderey (Not Rod but Rode)
Delamotte - Delamow
Pommery - As it is
Krug - Kroog
Ruinart - Ruinarr
Perrier-Jou�t - Perryay - Jooway (Not a hard J but soft J)
Lanson Noble Cuv�e - Lanson Noble Coovay


Hope this makes sense ?
almcd007 has put way better than I was attempting... totally tied in knots with Perrier jouet for instance.

One I would disagree with though is Moet. It was explained on a visit to Epernay that the Moet name originated from Belgium and this, along with the diaeresis above the e, made it Mow-et.
Keep spreading the word, KenR, though Jean Remy Moet was Dutch.
If you are paying for it then you are wasting a lot of money. Supermarket own brands are just as good and cost a lot less.
Dutch� D�oh! Remembered the not from France part but couldn�t check the exact details before posting as work here doesn�t allow sites using the latest Flash. That will teach me to wing it LOL
