Cul de Cuvée: Burn the bubbles and the AI too

The recently-random bits.

As we roar into the holiday season, most publications are publishing their annual gift guides and we just want to emphasize that here at CdC HQ, we are completely not above this. Given our complete embrace of pandering, we encourage you to give the gift of humor to another or to yourself. We’re a member-supported publication and we should be clear in that the interns, eat last, if you get our drift.

If you’re getting ready to travel and Barcelona Airport is on your radar, except you were thinking. “How can someone assault me like the perfume counters, but with a sparkling wine?” then you’re in luck. To celebrate 50 years of 8€ (or less) Freixenet Cordon Negro, you can now see a display and have a glass of, well, it. Or, you can just go to your flight and enjoy chewing your own saliva for a couple of hours if flying with Ryanair.

In showing that they clearly feel challenged by the news of this Cordon Negro presence, Singapore Airlines is now serving Roederer’s Cristal in First Class and is the only airline in world to offer it. Obviously, passengers will have some tough choices to make for their sparkling wine flying options in the months to come.
