Yeah, it's vodka right? Though google does have a 4.5 litre bottle for £499. Plus they got complimentary orange juice and lemonade.

The issue is that we live in a massively unequal society which has been getting progressively less equal over the past thirty years or so. The average wage hasn't gone up very much, whilst the wages for those at the top have gone through the roof. We're living in the middle of a wealth grab by those at the top which is being perpetrated against every single one of us with the assistance of compliant politicians and shareholders which is concentrating money and power in the hands of a tiny number of individuals who are using it to prop up and set up their offspring to continue to lead lives which bear absolutely no relation to what most of us are dealing with. Meanwhile, we just sit around and accept all of this, even to the point of having our public services ripped out from under us all because some bankers got too greedy and our taxes were used to underwrite their losses. That's the fucking issue, this is just a manifestation of it.

No-one is listening to Brooks, who has analysed the most important problem.  Cristal's shit.  I don't mind if people are equipped to go and spend £30k of an evening on anything, but I am disappointed that people with that sort of means are stuck in shit nightclubs drinking god-awful champagne.  As Skerret said, it's terribly gauche; for a start, what are they celebrating? Someone with enough capital to throw £30k at a drinks bill could, presumably, be achieving an awful lot.  The fact that they choose to drink such utter shit just proves it's wasted, though.
