I can't believe this thread exists and is so popular yet my Amiga kickstarter book thread languishes somewhere in the darkest pits of the forum. I remember when this place was cool. |

Not champagne related but Black Friday related, civil disorder as idiots fight over tellies in Tesco. The video footage really is quite something. FUCKING IDIOTS. |

Amazon appears to be overloaded today which is fairly ludicrous. Also annoying as I have to buy something work related from there today. |

Queueing only works as long as everyone in the queue thinks they have a chance of getting what they're queueing for. The mistake that these shops have made is having a pile of the tellies or whatever that people can see whilst they queue. Someone say 30 people from the front does a quick tally in their head and realises that they're unlikely to get what they've waited for and they get anxious. This anxiety transmits down the queue in both directions and order breaks down. They should hand them out from a stock room one by one. Or! Send fucking Black Friday back over the pond where they're used to this fucking madness. |

They are not even good TV's either some make I've never heard off. I would also guess that what ever price they are flogging them today will be repeated through out the year. That's my big problem with RRP the shops just make it up. EDIT just watched the video, what a nasty environment that was to shop in! |

You'd really be pissed off if you'd met someone in the pub last night and taken them home, having decided that the best place to stop off for condoms was the 24 hour Tesco at the end of your road, arriving at 12:01. Did YOU leave the pub with a guaranteed shag last night but had to stop off at the supermarket for prophylactics only to be hampered by Black Friday shoppers? Let us know by texting or tweeting us.

I have a TV that I'm happy with. my local Tesco is one of the mega ones and used to have the TV's placed so you sort of had to go past them to get to the food. At that time they were all Samsung and other brands I'd heard off. Now they have moved all the TV's etc somewhere else in the store so I never walk past them anymore |

The idea being to clear the stock ASAP, stacking shelves just takes too long. |

They also have some ok offers on more expensive stuff. Lanson Pink was £25 I think and Moet Pink £27. Usually give Moet a wide berth as its overprice for what it is, the Pink is really nice though, my wife was given a bottle as a present. |

A few years ago I found a deal on champagne in a Threshers shop in Ascot I ended up paying around £45 a bottle for some Taittinger 1998 vintage, it costs around £120 now There has never been an occasion good enough in my wife's eyes to crack it open my 40th, the birth of our first child etc Thinking about it, its been it the cupboard so long I'm not 100% its Taittinger!! its defiantly 1998 and vintage and the price is right as I looked it up a couple of years ago. Problem is my dad told us that the vintage can be kept for years hence it costing more, I should check this and maybe get it cracked open at Xmas! |

| Post subject: | Re: Champagne Price Wars |
It can be kept for years if you keep it right, i.e. in the dark and cool and on it's side so the cork doesn't dry out. If you haven't been doing that, then it's probably still ok, but you might as well drink it as it won't get better over time, and could possibly be a bit crap if the cork has dried out. You should always open a special bottle whenever you want to, rather than waiting for a special occasion. Bored on a wet wednesday afternoon? Open the special champagne, now it is a special wet wednesday afternoon! |

| Post subject: | Re: Champagne Price Wars |
The rule on champagne is typically that you can keep it for as long as it's been laid down for. Finding out how long that bottle was laid down for is the tricky part  However! It ain't going to have been 10 years - so drink it soon, because it'll be right at the end of it's shelf life by now. Trooper wrote: Bored on a wet wednesday afternoon?

If you've been seeing her for a year then I'd suggest you're beyond the champagne and presents 'just because' stage. About a year beyond it. |

Its Taittinger and is in a dark cool place on its side, can't believe I had all that done, there is also a bottle of Veuve Clicquot 2002 Vintage in there that I had forgotten about, but is in there for the same reasons. It will be drunk at Xmas |
