Guys, my liver was sacrificed for the cause. Worth it.

So my final bill, in the booth was $330. And I barely got anything. 12 beers, pizza, bottle of champagne, vodka sodas for the wife. Happy I pre drank at those prices.

Guess the value depends on the champagne? Also standard bottle size or one of those big f***ers?

If you're drinking Barefoot or Andre then major rip off. Veuve or Moet? Eh that's fair enough.

Edit: I f***ing love champagne. Life hack if you want good tasting sparkling wine but don't want to pay for something from the region is get Cremant de Bourgone. It's made in the Burgundy region instead of Champagne region of France (literally next door), it uses Champagne-style grapes/aging/techniques, and it costs a third of the price. My favorite wine is Louis Bouillot Blanc de Noirs. Their Sparkling Rose also slaps.

It was some normal sized bottle and it was like $55. The 12 pack of Beer cost me $110. Pizza was $40. It was massively surprising that the champagne ended up being some of the cheapest stuff I got.

Clairette de Die from the Rhône region is also amazing, a little bit fruitier though. My wife and I love it!

I completely bounce off shit made from white wine grapes for some reason. I'll check it out though.

You all should be banned for this discussion
Comparing cremant to champagne should be considered a crime in all 50 states of the United States

I think a good cremant to an average champagne is a fine comparison. We're talking about drinking bubbles on a budget here. I'd put cremant many tiers above a Prosecco or Cava, for instance.

Dollar for dollar you get the most bang for your buck there. But good champagne is obviously superior - wasn't meaning to imply otherwise.

Also - I don't know how pricing works more locally, but the cost of a good cremant in the states is like... 20 bucks? Comparatively, a cheap Moet is like 50-60.

My wife doesn't like bubbles, so I basically drink the whole bottle. 24 bucks to get drunk (and the Total Wine close to my house has it for more 18-20 range) is worth it, especially because I love the taste so much.

LOL, the outrage on the comments about a local commentator speaking to the LOCAL audience. Does the Chief have some personal history with Boudreau?

Not sure but now that you mention it I think he's called him a moron before. Might be misremembering though.

I remember him calling Montréal fans morons before in a game from 2015.
