yuan lai..
the 'Moet' in 'Moet & Chandon' is actually pronounced 'Mo-Wett'.
(nOoo..really??)
ps: can't do 2 dots on top of 'e'
cos then it forms funny squiggle..
"Those in favour of 'Mo-aye' argued it was French champagne
and therefore the 't' was soft,
while those in favour of 'Mo-Wett' had other theories
including that the name originated in Germany
and therefore the 't' was pronounced...
Here are the facts.
The correct way to pronounce it is 'Mo-Wett'
Moet is indeed French champagne
and was founded in 1743 by Claude Moet
Moet was born in France in 1683;
however, his name is not French, it is Dutch;
which is why it is pronounced thus..."
also, Veuve Clicquot is "voovh kli ko" ??
oOohh..
