I agree the '700 bottle' bit
does sound a bit braggy, but am equally open to it being excitement.
Because of the way my mind works, I was immediately wondering how big that cellar would have to be, and found
this.
I'm another one whose offering probably wouldn't make the grade: (when I'm drinking) I love
cheap fizz. I've found some champagne I get on with, but I'm often happier with the EUR <2 bottles that live on the bottom shelf of French supermarkets.
I would, of course, take something nicer!
Unless they're really entitled people, in which case they could have what they
asked for.
I'm guessing/hoping that they're not gimme-pigs, otherwise jpcher would have mentioned this?
