@CrimeJunkie01

My 14 year old drunk my 15 year old not toe of expensive champagne after I went to bed the other night. 15 years I'd saved that for a special occasion!! I say drink it before some other fucker does. Apparently being bored on a Saturday night is occasion enough!!!
I guess the "not toe" is a typo or auto correct, but am I correct in assuming your 14 year old child drank your unopened bottle of expensive champagne without permission? Are you serious?

Too late now, but honestly one bottle of cava is quite a lot, so I wouldn't have recommended another bottle of anything

Hang on . The only crime I can see here is it's not in a flute 🥂

MintyGreenDream · 30/09/2021 20:11

@Bedsheets4knickers I agree with Ricky Gervais champagne tastes better from a wine glass 😀

Bloody enjoy 🥂

@CrimeJunkie01 champagne doesn’t age well though? Unless it’s a vintage champagne, it’s best to drink within 3-4 years?

@Anonymous48

Actually, you were being unreasonable for drinking cava rather than champagne. Life's too short!

My apologies for the Cava consumption I actually really like it😄

Cava is the Spanish , far superior version of what the French call champagne
Cheers 🍾

No, no, no.

At least it's not prosecco.

mrsm43s · 30/09/2021 20:41

I have no idea whether or not you were unreasonable to open the champagne, and its irrelevant now anyway since its already opened.

But I've now decided that it's a life goal to keep "an emergency bottle of champagne" in my fridge at all time.

Timetoretiretospain · 30/09/2021 20:43

Enjoy 🥂

Timetoretiretospain · 30/09/2021 20:44

I agree that Cava is fab too x

MintyGreenDream · 30/09/2021 20:45

@mrsm43s I'd definitely recommend it

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 30/09/2021 20:46

No! You’ve got to drink the champagne as your first drink(s) of the evening, when you can appreciate it.

If you drink it after the cava it’ll be wasted.

MintyGreenDream · 30/09/2021 20:46

Procecco is wank.Cava is less acidic than champagne.Im practically doing a service here.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 30/09/2021 20:47

I really like cava too but I just think champagne should be appreciated
