In rather serious developments in the land of horrible wealth inequality that is Australia, I have purchased a bottle of Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage 2006 for a fantastic coworker who I will no longer be working with next year.
The problem is I want it for myself, and on my measly government pension, I cannot really afford one for myself unless I forgo a 21st in Mosman on Saturday (which I rather would like to go to, both because it's a good friend's and it's bound to be doozy as fuck) or my holiday in January.
Can i get away with replacing the Moet with a decent $25 of Brown Brothers Sparkling?
