    Wine (which goes with champagne) sales in general are down, supposedly because the boomer generation was much more into wine than later generations. I’m “meh” on wine. I’m turned off by all of the hype and complexity of it. Craft beer went down that path also. I buy wine but I’m not a regular drinker of it. Maybe once per month at most.

    I’m sure prices are hurting it also. When you are tight on money Champagne is on the bottom of the list. It is a luxury.

    Do what I do, get three bottles of cheap champagne, label them “Trump”, “Putin” and “Musk” respectively, and when one of these dickheads die you pop the respective bottle and have a toast.

    Get more bottles as needed.

        Yeah, there are just so many terrible people that I limit myself to one bottle each, makes it easier when I find a real bastard to dedicate another bottle to.

      I had a bottle of brandy made in “Crimea, Ukraine”, for when the Putin dies. Doesn’t help the fact that my wife poured out all the alcohol when we were arguing about its consumption, but at least I had a plan.

        It’s the thought that counts. My Putin expiration celebration will actually also be alcohol free, but it’ll taste just as sweet.

      Heh. I may or may not already have those three.

      I’m not excited for anyone to die, but I really want to know, on my deathbed, that I outlived those three.

      I tell myself it has something to do with knowing I contributed positive change to the world for longer than their negative, but I realize it’s probably just my pettiness.
