For those who would like to have this 'Elite Lounge feeling' - Piper is in in my local Biedronka for PLN 169.99

(Context for those not living in PL: Biedronka is the largest chain of discount groceries (think Lidl or Whole Foods but normally shops are smaller however located all over the place).

Sigh, there used to be a great promo with Piper in Biedronka for only PLN 99 around 3 years ago (and for a short period there was even a 3 for 2 promo, with two bottler for PLN 198...those were the days).

In the best interest of FT's sportmanship towards those who intend to replicate any WAW's lounge feeling (and, why not, LO glamorous onboard's C experience), Żywiec beer available in abundance (and at a fairly attractive price) at your local Żabka store (context for those not living in PL: they are normally tiny "corner shops" featuring the convenience of not having to queue for ages as in Biedronka or Lidl). For those not lucky enough to reside in PL, your local Polski Sklep will be happy to comply with a vast choice including indeed Żywiec but also another all-time Heineken-owned favourite: Tatra.

I hope you don't mean Whole Foods in US and Canada. It is definitely not a discount store. Some refer to it as "Whole Paycheque".

Now we know where (and when) Basia got their bottles.

The only attractive price for Żywiec is if they pay me at least 50€ per bottle I drink.

Shocking statement coming from a beer connoisseur like your-good-self. However, just for this time, no reporting to moderators or anything like that, you’ll get away with a minor amendment to your original post:

There was non alcoholic “champagne” on my last flight with LO. It was quite nice but on the sweet side.

I'll suffer through two cans of Zywiec for a 100 EUR... that's like... 6 bottles of Piper worth

Do tell where you can buy 6 Bottles of Piper for 100 € ?

In Biedronka, in reference to #2180

Just because I'm a beer connoisseur doesn't mean I'm not cheap. Think about it, if they got me that deal and I drank 3 bottles of that glorified piss, I'd be able to afford yet another upgrade to LOT Business Class, which means even more Piper and some beef with 1 cl of sauce and dry dumplings. Alternatively, for the same price, I could fly Austrian to Klagenfurt and get two pieces of tomato accompanied by a cucumber and some leftover cheese from Spar. Isn't that better than being charged 7 euros for a craft beer in Gdansk?

Reminds me of the time I've spent two hours in Polonez thinking about how bad their sparkling wine is before I noticed I was drinking a non-alcoholic one. This is the worst story I have from Polonez because I can't even blame it on me being drunk.

Sure, 36 EUR for 1 Bottle, = € 216 for 6 ?

#2180 refers to a bottle being 99 Zl and a 2 for 3 being available (yes, I realize it's not current pricing, otherwise I'd be really angry for not knowing this last week when I was in Poland) That gives me 3 bottles for 198 which is close enough to 50 EUR.
