Does anyone know where I can get some decent bubbly in Seoul? e.g. Moet and Chandon, Bollinger, Perrier Jouet, etc???

I want to celebrate getting a long vacation from kids...

There are shops where you can find imported wines ect. Also try some of the BIG department stores. The only problem is that it may cost you an arm and a leg for anything decent.

If you're REALLY struggling, perhaps you can scope out the winelist at some of the swankier hotels.

jae.

Ms. Bear and I just priced some bubbly last week. The supermarket under the Volvo building had a good selection, but surprisingly we found better prices for M & C at the Hyatt! You'll still pay a bit, but life is for living! If I recall - and I may be wayyyy off - the supermarket was in the W60k range, but the Hyatt was in the W40-50k.

I don't know if there is a Carrefour in Seoul , but if there is, your in luck!
They sell a bottle of Champagne for 22,000 won, it a nice dry white French job. Sorry! but I don't know the name of it. Two bottles of that, and your flying Kid! Great with lobster.

Oscar Champagne, KRW 1,500. Used to drink that shit up like it was water in high school. Quite fruity and you don't support the frenchie economy. Those lil' feckers...
