<p>Part of a Champaign festival was a free tasting at the various location in the city.</p>
<p>$100 a bottle- that&#8217;s a normal price for Champagne. At the festival though there is a great opportunity to taste a different product from different Champaign houses and don&#8217;t pay a cent. The only problem &#8211; you have to queue for it, because you are not alone in this wish.</p>
<p>And I was thinking, that it is quite a strange thing &#8211; to queue for Champagne, it is almost like renting a Ferrari with a discount coupons or borrowing diamonds for BBQ. I think, I might find out if it&#8217;s possible to get a take away dinner with Deliveroos from a 3 hat restaurant, I feel like I wanna treat myself.</p>

<p>Фестиваль шампанского обещает легкой наживы.</p>
<p>Если вы готовы отдать $100 за продукт, называющимся Шампанским, то этот фестиваль скорее всего не для вас. Сотни желающих слетелись на бесплатные пробы Шампанского, ожидая своей очереди у порога винного магазина. Суббота. Два часа дня. Люди ждут обещанного под палящим солнцем, очередь скрывается за уголом, магазин впускает публику нехотя.</p>
<p>Шампанское и очередь. Звучит, как-то,  по-советски и предновогодне. Однако, мне это напоминает одну шутку вроде: &#8220;Арендуйте Ферарри на месяц, пользуйтесь купоном на скидку&#8221; или вроде каламбур с одалживанием бриллиантов на барбекю. Я вот тут подумала, а не заказать ли мне доставку еды на вынос в трёхзвёздочном ресторане. Кому пластиковый контейнер помеха, тот не знает вкуса халявных порций.</p>
