So you have a hot date, or expect to have a lady over at your place tonight (or sometime in the next year). Here is what you NEED to have in your fridge. Because without something bubbly, things get flat, if you know what I mean. So here is a quick quip about how to make a decision.

First, you aren’t supposed to call it Champagne unless it was made in that region of France. But do it anyway. If you tell your chick you have some great (but not actually, she won’t know the difference anyway’s) Sparkling Wine, she won’t know what your talking about. Ladies only like the words Money, Marriage, Babies, Gucci, Chocolate, and Champagne. So say Champagne.

• If you want sweet, get a spumante
• If you want not sweet, get a brut
• Cheapest without getting crappy? Korbel brut - around 12 bucks a bottle
• Really nice - Veuve Cliquot - Yellow Label - around 50 bucks
• Really sweet? Asti Spumate, very cheap also.

PS. Sweet bubbly is for saps, it makes your gut rot and the next morning feel like death.

Have Fun!
