And here he comes now, walking out to warm applause, he settles at the crease...
What champagne am I drinking tonight?
Two clues to start this 20-20 match, it is from the last century and it's a 'luxury cuvée', in the appalling argot of marketeers.
I will probably be posting a tasting note when the question will be timed out. I shall calculate a winner on the Duckworth Lewis system.

I am afraid we have been timed out by the appearance of a tasting note on other wines. Still calculating who won by Duckworth Lewis.

Not Margaux. Not wine of any kind. That's 2.
Not brandy, but that's closer. Forward defensive.
The type of drink might be identified if you can name the cuisine we enjoyed this evening.

Enough enough. How am I supposed to sleep when you keep binging every few minutes? Ok call it three. But I've got another two because it's neither of the things you just guessed.
I hinted that you had got the country right earlier. The drink was complimentary, my father being a regular customer.
