Doh Peter! As a marmite devoteeeee I know it is an extract and I knoooowww that 'they' as in the little marmite men should have stayed well away from the champagne tub

Champagne - yes (discovered I REALLY loved it when sis got me a bottle of
Moet for birthday last year)

Marmite - no. Himself and Lauren b love it, as do his boys, but I could never get my tastebuds around that one!!!

To each his own.....

Euugh, can't stand it, wife and son love it.

As the brilliant adverts have it, you either love it or loathe it.
