Try Prosecco, $10-$20 a bottle, lower at Whole Foods. Tastes just as good as champagne. I like the driest of drinks (beer, sake, wine). Presecco is not the absolute driest, but it is dry enough for my palate, and satisfies those who like a sweeter drink as well. I’m sure you could find a better use for another $170. Whatever you do, don’t give it to the Red Cross.
Umm...no.
