Free Champagne = Free Publicity

It's an age old equation.

Spending that amount of money on a tiny dribble of a drink in that place is unlikely to cheer me up much, to be honest.

i was in the decent offie on old compton street yesterday and they had some lush calvados. a drop of that and you'd have forgotten about the champing frotters for a few minutes.

The flutes are rather elegant.

But champagne is a ridiculously expensive way to have a drink/get drunk

The flutes are rather elegant.

I'm not that much bothered about the container my drink comes in, to be honest.

they were selling it for a tenner a bottle in co-op last week.

Exactly. If you need to drink it, drink it at home for a third of the price

I'd rather drink it at home with friends than sat in the middle of the market in a posh shop watching poor people do their shopping anyway.

Apparently, it has an impact on the taste of different styles of wine.

But I can't say I have much noticed.

absolutely. but 'oh you might as well have it at home at a fraction of the price' argument strikes me as particularly trite. you could apply it to pretty much every single thing you could possibly buy out.

You could but some pubs manage to make it worth paying the extra in exchange for some atmosphere/music/socialising/free live music etc.

 

[TruXta]

I don't quite get certain people's POV here - is all champagne bad/posh/gentrifying? Or only that sold by posh people?

Yes. But the stakes are raised at £7.50 a glass.

A pint is half that price out and delivers more alcohol.

For shame

You can also get over 2.5 pints for that in the infinitely more sociable environs of the Albert. Or 7 cans of lager.

or one pint of lager and several cans used to top up the glass.

That is the traditional way.
