It was very easy to make the decision: the 4^th from Nicolas store is the best during this tasting!

But the best value for money is the 1^st from Carrefour Market! Good price for a good moment of tasting with friends.

It depends of the occasion, if you are with your friends having fun you’ll buy the 1^st one easy to find in the supermarket otherwise if you have 2€ more in your pocket let’s buy the 4^th one for more pleasure! 

Drink cheap. Drink well!
