Delivering a bottle of champagne...in Antwerp?

July 10, 2006 5:55 PM

Help getting a bottle of champagne delivered in Antwerp this week?

About a year ago, AskMe helped me find a shop in Manhattan that would deliver a bottle of champagne on a moment's notice... now I'm hoping that the Powers o' the Green can help me do the same on a transatlantic basis!

I've been working with a freelance book designer there who has been absolutely amazing, and who's getting married in a few weeks to boot. My coeditor and I would like to say "thanks and congrats!" with a bottle of something nice. Can anyone recommend a wine shop in Antwerp that delivers and that I'd be able to contact via email or the web?

Best answer: I did a Dutch google search for champagne delivery and Belgium to see what would come up.

I found this Belgian company that delivers flowers, wine, champagne, gift baskets etc. They seem to take international credit cards.

gift.be is a similar site, also in Belgium.

Both sites are in English as well as in Dutch/French.

If these two sites don't work/are horribly expensive, feel free to send me a mail (address in profile). I live 15 min from Antwerp, so it's no hassle to deliver a bottle of bubbles. You can paypal me on succesfull delivery or sumfin'
