What is the name of that champagne (or wine)?
There's a really nice champagne (or wine), and it's pronouced something like "cristov" or "christol" or "crustol" or "cruistov". I know it's bottled in a champagne or wine-like long bottles. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Tired it, returned nothing. Even tried to search for "champagne" and found nothing.

Cristal.
In the states, it goes for $300-400 per bottle.
Other famous (and expensive) names in champagne are Dom Pérignon, and Krug.
Enjoy.

I'll take the $4 gallon of rum that's only distinguishable from isopropyl by not killing you when you drink enough of it.

Re: What is the name of that champagne (or wine)?
A few years back the Taylors retired from making wine and their kids decided to sell the business. When one of the sons changed his mind the Coca Cola Corporation sued him to stop him putting his own last name on the product because they had purchased the trademark along with the business. So the name Taylor Wine is just a trademark that was sold. It's actually just a grape based alcohol version of Coke! If you want the real thing, you have to go to the liquor store and buy Bully Hill. They don't make champagne as far as I know though.

It didn't take much of the profit for Dom Perignon to buy the product placement in Star Trek: Generations. Probably just a drop in the aging barrel. They may even BE in business come 2265. |

and by then that Earth still uses the present calendar system. Who knows? We could switch to a metric system based on the movement of the stars or perhaps the sun will go supernova and fry the planet before then. Or maybe we'll do it ourselves. |

If the sun actually burst into a supernova, you would be dead.
