I can already tell you are an unsavory person.

Agreed, champagne sucks. All white wine has a certain sweetness/fruitiness, even though its defenders will say "NOOOO IT DOESN'T!"

Red wine for me famalam

I have my doubts about the veracity of your post.
Somebody who can afford to pay for a bottle of Armand de Brignac, at the 300%-inflated price a strip club demands, is very unlikely to post on a Kazakhstani earhair braiding forum like this.

Not usually, it's generally overpriced. find yourself a nice cremant du jura, or even a good prosecco.

>i bought a bottle of champagne at the strip club and did not feel as though i got my money's worth

>>14376046
OP here, I generally like champagnes. Ace of Spades was just fucking nasty though.

>>14375964
Undoubtebly based

>>14375931
It's not for drinking, it's for pouring on the stripper.

>>14376348
Contrary to what you see on TV strippers don’t like having drinks poured on them

>>14376568
When you spend 50K on a bottle you pour it wherever you want.

Cringe and new money tier

I drank a drappier from 1990 once. Shit was cash

Champagne sucks, it's made bearable when mixed with Red Bull

Asked for it desu.

>>14376046
Good Prosecco is in no way comparable to good Champagne, maybe very, very good Cremant du Jura though.

>>14375964
t. has not had much white wine

What red wines do you have that have no sweetness or fruitiness? Do you exclusively drink aged Cabernet Franc or something?

>>14376626
>spending 20 Euros for coke
Absolute madman.

>>14377160
What about 50K euros for an overrated sparkling wine?

a good article if you want to start drinking champagne: https://www.ft.com/content/b028ab02-7416-11e8-aa31-31da4279a601

>>14375964
Pink wine its better!!

>>14377166
Dom P is probably overrated but I haven't tried it. I know damn well that a coke isn't worth 10 Euros a piece though.

>>14375931

>>14377171
Nice if you have a FT subscription.

Personally, I only drink 2008 Dom Perignon Lenny Kravitz Limited Edition Champagne

>>14376626
This guys a fag. Nikki beach is a resort and this was probably accrued over the course of several days. Also, I highly doubt he got laid by anyone but his wife, and she might’ve gotten laid by a few other dudes.
Also, now that we are past the insults, do you seriously think Nikki beach isn’t a far cry from the “strip club” the dipshit OP described, pal?

>>14377219
It seems like some place that mafioso/nouveau riche types would hang out at to impress their peers.

>>14376626
2k for 125g of Beluga caviar sounds like an awful lot. But then again it goes for 1200 at the Kaviari house. So maybe the resort has a HUEG margin on it.
How the fuck does a loup de mer costs you 150 per kilo. 270 per kilo for lobster ? Wth
1 Mathusalem of Dom Perignon Rosé costs 50k, checked. https://www.millesima.fr/champagne-dom-perignon-rose-vintage-coffret-gold-2000.html
The Dom Pérignon Jéroboams brut go for something like 10k, I don't find it too crazy for the price of the rosé version to go higher especially since big resorts usually stocks Jéroboams and do great margins on it.
But they don't stock Mathusalems, which makes me think it was a custom order on which they didn't factor any margin as a *geste*.
Also
>So few food for 16 people
Nigga this rich bois be starvin.

TLDR : Nigga got scammed probably. I just hope "Manu" the waiter got a good tip out of it. Serving Mathusalems can get tiring.

>>14377264
Looking at their site it looks like a very common if very big resort. The estate lacks any kind of class or refinement.
My guess ? Money laundering at large scale.

Veuve Cliquot is my champagne of choice, I love the granny smith apple taste and the mousse on it is unmatched imo. Their Grande Dame '08 was gifted to me by a friend and is to this day my favorite I've yet tried. Dom is great but too expensive, and I feel house Moet et Chandon has seen a deterioration in its quality over the years; that said, I plan to buy their 2012 Vintage rose just to try out on a whim. Their non-vintage was super cloying from what I recall, and I hope the 2012 will have a less muddied and over saccharine flavor to it.

>>14377302
It's an international chain.

>>14377337
Interesting.
>Porto Heli
Lmao how are they proud of opening this in the exemplification of "second choice place to spend the holidays" in that region.
I was close to it not 1 week ago and the whole place looked like your usual over-developed and concrete-ridden seaside town.

>>14377296
Aren't large langoustes rarer and more expensive than regular lobster? I remember reading something about them getting scarce due to pollution and overfishing.

>>14377195
I’ve had it a few times. I didn’t think it was any better than Moet or Veuve Cliquot.

>>14377200
Haven’t you ever been to a high end strip club?

>>14377408
I don't know much about lobsters to be honest.
Maybe you're right.

Palmer & Co is my go to Champagne. The regular Brut is still under $100 and I find it dry and not overly sweet.

>>14377146

cremant du jura and champagne are directly comparable, same process, same grapes, just one region over, the only difference is the ADC and branding of the word "Champagne" that allows them to to charge an extra 100 dollars or more.

As for prosecco, when it comes to the cost/benefit ratio, i'd rather drink a 20 dollar bottle of good prosc than a 200 dollar bottle of good champagne. Will the champagne taste better? yes. Will it taste TEN TIMES better? no.

Fuck the french, they aren't the gatekeepers of good wine that they think they are.

>>14377333
>Veuve Cliquot
The demi brut is the best champagne I have tried. If I want sweet stuff I just get prosecco.

>>14378384
AOC designations are genius fuckry and I applaud the Fr*nch for it.

>>14378384
>Will the champagne taste better? yes
Not necessarily

>>14376031
There could be some truth to it, god knows you get bored when you are rich as hell

>>14377067
Keep crying, the drinks will keep pouring.

>>14378384
Last few times I had prosecco I hated it. Are they all so sweet and nasty?

>>14375964
cuked by bubbles

>>14378761
prosecco is pretty dry bud
are you ok?

>>14378507
So far I haven't had a bad bottle from them. The vintages are a bit pricey, but compared to the grande dames they're nearly as good at almost half the price. highly recommend the 08 rose

>>14378761
>prosecco
>sweet
U havin a giggle m8?

>>14379003
No. I know what I tasted!

>>14375931
If you're buying champagne from anywhere but a liquor or wine store, you've fucked up somewhere in life. Or you're extremely wealthy, in which case you wouldn't have bought that low end garbage anyway.

>>14378761
only really, really crap prosecco would be in any way sweet

>>14379176
ok guy

>>14378384
You can get $100 bottles of champagne that easily taste five times better than Prosecco though.

>>14376031
Tom hardy is in this thread right now.

>>14377151
Sangiovese based wines often dry and not very fruity

>>14376031
4chan is like a dive bar where the scum rub elbows with the rich and powerful

It's based

>>14375931
no sex in the champagne room, brah. why'd you go there?

>>14375964
The good stuff is, but there's plenty of dry acidic trash out there.

>>14377414
because it's the same fucking company that owns all three

krug, dom perignon, and moet is actually decent though if you'e a semi poorfag.

>>14382063
have yet to try krug, what's the NV like?

Best I've ever had was 20 year old bottle of Prosecco in Venice a few years back. Only cost about 50 Euros, and worth every cent.

>>14377436
in new england the larger/older lobsters are a lot tougher and have an off taste compared to the younger ones and their much more valuable remaining in the breeding fields than on the plate

>>14381075
So are whites from the Jura, Chenin Blanc, white Burgundy, Piemontese whites, many more.

>>14384240
Sounds cool, from the era before Prosecco became a wine lake.

I'm gonna hit the strip club tonight boys. Hopefully I don't buy any Ace of Spades!

>>14377151
Garnacha, monastrel

>>14386456
>tfw I got to the strip club and they told me they were at capacity so I didn't even get to go inside

>>14376031
4chan is like the modern equivalent of an anonymous party where nobodies and millionaires hang out together and have conversations and nobody knows who is who until someone starts talking about money.

I picked up a bottle of Pol Roger at the liquor store yesterday.

Hopefully /pol/ doesn't catch on that there's a champagne that shares its name.

>>14388298
One of the better house champagnes imo.

>>14388334
>Implying you could tell the difference between this and an Alsatian mousseux

>>14386690
Not really

>>14382244
Very rich and toasty, outclasses Grand Dame and Dom Perignon handily imo

>>14375964
Learn to Gewürztraminer.

>>14388334
Based, can't wait to drink it later this week.

>>14376046
>Cremant du Jura
Mon negro. Though lately I’ve been on a cremant du Loire kick.
And my experience with Italian bubbly is that anything actually labeled Prosecco is commoditized. They do plenty of good shit under other names. Look for Alice or La Collina for specific wineries. In general I love Col Fondo’s, they’re left unfiltered so they got a more lively sorta funk.

>>14388411
Maybe I couldn't but that's not what I was implying.

How long does a bottle last you? And how often do you drink champagne?

>>14391056
>How long does a bottle last you?
An hour to a couple of days.

>And how often do you drink champagne?
Maybe once every two months. I love Champagne but there are so many other wines to drink.

>>14391082
>>How long does a bottle last you?
>An hour to a couple of days.

How do you preserve champagne after opening? I've never dared trying to cap it to save it for later.

>>14375931
last time I drank champagne it was after an attainably attractive woman sat next to me at a bar and I convinced myself that she wanted to talk to me because my mom says I'm a very handsome boy and there is no reason I should still be single
because of the pressure to do what "normal people" do (I assume have a conversation that leads to sex) I left immediately and was so angry with myself I went to the gym and lifted weights and ran on the treadmill for 4 hours after chugging a dangerous amount of caffeine powder
I didn't drink any water at all
I then bought a $150 bottle of some random champagne to "celebrate" what a fuckup I am and chugged it while extremely dehydrated and having eaten nothing for hours
needless to say it gave me a terrible headache and I associate champagne with misery and self loathing

>>14391101
You use a Champagne stopper.

>>14391109
Uhh anon, a lot of normal people have conversations in bars that don't lead to sex.

>>14391121
that sounds like bullshit to me
you're just humblebragging

>>14391128
I haven't even had sex and I know this though.

>>14376626
10 euro for a coke? Fuck me.....

>>14376568
>Contrary to what you see on TV strippers don’t like having drinks poured on them
You don't spend money at a strip club for what strippers like.
