Pronouncing the names of foreign wines, particularly French ones, can be confusing — even anxiety inducing.

And then there are those who just can’t wait to mock people who mispronounce popular (and often expensive) wines. Before we get to the issue of Moët, let’s turn to what Jay-Z once rapped about another expensive brand of Champagne (one he doesn’t drink anymore):

You can’t even drink Crist-OWL on this one
You gotta drink Crist-ALL

So do you pronounce the Moët in Moët & Chandon? Mo-Aye? Nope:

The correct way to pronounce it is ‘Mo’wett’.
