But it doesn’t stop there, because Checkers believes in constantly improving, which is the theme of their latest campaign. Authentic French champagne for under R200 So, how did they improve their wine offering? They added something new to their Wines of the World, and not just anything, they added Charles de Cazanove – authentic French Champagne for under R200.

Back to the price, it’s also a known fact that a bubbly of this calibre is not exactly easy on the pocket, unless of course you’re in France.
