CAVA!!! FFS one would think such a quality supermarket would know one drinks prosecco and not cava. It's a good job I'm on the flat stuff tonight or there'd be trouble! WineWink I'll have to actually go into a shop tomorrow to stock up!

For shame. Bad Mr Waitrose Hmm

Is that a more heinous crime than delivering a deadly spider with the bananas?

Yes, it is.

WienerDiva · 24/10/2014 20:32

Grin Storm!

Hassled · 24/10/2014 20:32

I think I prefer Cava.

I'll get my coat.

Madamecastafiore · 24/10/2014 20:33

Isn't it just french prosecco anyways?

wasabipeanut · 24/10/2014 20:34

Bastards.

Annietheacrobat · 24/10/2014 20:34

Cava is on the up again. All the trendies drink cava

MmeMorrible · 24/10/2014 20:35

Bah humbug, it's all sparkly shit anyway. Stick some cassis in and you won't notice the difference.

Cumberlover76 · 24/10/2014 20:36

Madame there's a world of difference! More fizz in prosecco, cava is so yesterday dahling!

No!!!!!!! That's unforgiveable.

LongDistanceLove · 24/10/2014 20:48

Unforgivable. You need to get in contact with the daily mail, complete with faux sad face.

UpWithWitchIWillNotSpook · 24/10/2014 20:51

tchah!< You're getting it all wrong. The only benchmark is worth caring about is: did they short you on alcohol percentage?

ghostyslovesheep · 24/10/2014 20:57

I prefer Cava as well - I feel Prosecco has a wiff of Asti about it

PiperIsOrange · 24/10/2014 21:06

Your lucky waitrose has saved you from exploding prosecco bottles.

travailtotravel · 24/10/2014 21:12

Another for the cava here .. far superior in how it's made and quality of grape IMHO - them Spaniards know what they're up to.

KnittedJimmyBoos · 24/10/2014 21:12

I drink cava and....prosecco.

not much difference Confused

piemashandliquer · 24/10/2014 21:16

Its bubbly, its booze, its Friday night, JFDI Wink

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 24/10/2014 21:17

I can never open prosecco from Waitrose. I think they seal it shut specially to try to interfere with my mother's drinking habit. I prefer a good single malt anyway Grin

SpidersDontWashTheirHands · 24/10/2014 21:35

Baaastards! DH bought me some Cava the other week because he remembered that I like fizz but forgot which type. I'll be seeking a divorce on the grounds of emotional cruelty.

ithoughtofitfirst · 24/10/2014 22:08

Drinking is like... bad for you and stuff.

You bunch of absolute pissheads Grin

Panzee · 24/10/2014 22:11

Cava is much better. They did you a favour.
