whats the most expensive alcoholic drink you have ever had?

do you sip crystal on a regular basis?

mine was a friend give me a drink of some whiskey once that cost him 200 for the bottle.
cant remember what it was, but it actually tasted earthy!

A bottle of Cristal champagne, drank whilst outside a bar on the Via Condotti in Rome, the most glamerous of locations. It cost the equvalent of £350.00.

Happily I wasn't paying.

Most expensive round I have bought was fifty quid for three drinks in a bar in Mykonos.

That did include entertainment from a mad old woman from New York, singing and playing the piano, so it still works out cheaper per minute than paying to see a Streisand concert.

Probably didn't sound that much different either !

I went to a nightclub in Ibiza and for a Vodka & Coke and a bottle of water it was 32 Euros!!! The water was 8 Euros on its own!

I've also had a £270 bottle of Champagne when Opium was still open.

I bought my friend a £65 bottle of Champagne in Bliss in town, thats the most i've paid for drink on my own. Especially as it was in Accy.

Going back to 1987 travelling to Spain with some friends of ours , they had booked us into a place for the night, before the ferry crossing, bought us a round of drinks i.e. 4 single brandies, cost = £40.

I dont see why anyone spends that much on bubbly on nights out. Silly.

I remember paying £5 a shot in 1984 for Remy Martin in Tenerife

Mine was £25 for 3 cans of Red Stripe in Hippodrome in 1989, Yes I know it doesn't work, I was stood at the bar next to Lemmy and even he left after that.
(It was a rock night by the way)

How do you know how to rate champagne... i dont think i would be able to tell the diferance between such an expensive bottle or a £8 bottle of wine....

I think my most expensive bottle of champers was a Bollinger ,,,about £24... i thought it was just average

Cristal champagne comes in clear glass bottles...but I agree, even vintage Roederer Cristal tastes pretty much like the green bottled fizz you can buy in the supermarkets.
