Or the slippers. Kit's are nice not because of the junk in them but I actually use them as for my shower toiletries at the gym, work trips, etc they come in handy. And I don't have to constantly empty sort them out. I even use one of them to store some extra cash in a safe SHH.

Regarding the DOM P, I'll take it over Krug, I thought Krug was the most disgusting Champagne I ever had and I wouldn't pay $6 for it. The taste was not sharp, clean and crisp. Did not taste anything like a BRUT. Only thing I like is the box design is very useful... DOM P is good, is it $150 bottle good, I think I rather spend that on Wagyu than DOM, however I'm always open to trying new champanges. I think maybe something like the P2 could be well worth it, never had it. Only had the 06, and 09. I hear the 08 which hasn't hit our NJ NY Metro liquor stores blows the 2 of those away so I'll def give it a try.

I like some of the Pol Roger vintages and the Louis Roederer BRUT, Bollinger, Tattinger are all decent. Between the $40-60 of those mentioned and $150 Dom I don't see the difference worth it. Maybe my taste buds can't recognize it. That being said FREE Dom is perfect!

Haven't tried Perrier Jouet Champagne one that I would like to try, and if anyone has some good suggestions feel free! I love a crisp brut.

I like that Emirates has a good wine program, so I'm looking forward to sampling them... JW Blue is nice but I can get that anywhere, some of these wines and champagnes you can't buy by the glass so you really have to be all in on em and I like being able to sample them without wasting $150 cough cough KRUG. Kinda like open bars you can sample stuff to expand your horizons. My girlfriend who has zero problems with drinking any kind of alc spit it out she thought it was so vile...
What about Henkel Trocken for bubbles instead?
