$150? Luxury, you do NOT want to know what I pay for Deutz at my local grocery store in France.

Since I live no too far from Champagne, I usually buy local small brands that don't have the huge marketing expenses of the major brands. Nor do they export. That way I can get a bottle of Champagne that is on par with Veuve Cliquot for less than $10 per bottle. I bought a couple of cases of Urbain et Fils recently which is quite good. The price is cheap since their only marketing expense is their email address at [email protected]
