Yep, I can't understand how they get away with saying it has "pure Rocky Mountain Spring Water" in it...
You can't make me believe they ship the water to New Jersey to brew the beer with.
And besides, I could taste the difference from the first can that came from New Jersey's brewery.
Ironically, we used to drive over to "Roger Wilco's" in New Jersey to buy it many years ago because they
were the only place that had Coors beer. Back then it was delicious... It was real Colorado Rocky Mountain
Spring Water brewed Coors beer then. It had to be kept chilled 100% of the time after brewing because it would spoil.
That's why they got tired of trucking it all the way across the country in refrigerated trucks.

I'm no communist but I was wondering if anyone has made a USSR flag wallpaper. It would go nicely with my red alert 2 game.

Bakerstreet, Champagne is the name of a town reknown for this specific kind of sparkling wine. Just like Bordeaux is also a region. Theoretically, a wine can't be called a "Bordeaux" unless it comes from the Bordeaux region, just like a wine can't be called "Champagne" unless it comes from Champagne, it would then simply be sparkling wine. It would be similar than if a wine made in Quebec was called a "California wine", ya know.

Paxx, don't you mean Champagne is the region, not town, from which French champagne comes? Reims in the Champagne region, for example, is the home of a number of famous champagne houses. In the USA "champagne" is called either champagne or sparkling wine. French laws don't appear to apply here, oddly enough. I have a bottle of something which calls itself "California Champagne" so there's no confusion regarding origins. The main thing is the process used in production. Whether the wine is called champagne or sparkling wine, the methode champenoise is the key IMO since there are other ways to produce sparkling wine. Just from my own personal research, you understand.

We 'used to' call Australian 'Champagne' exactly that, right up until the time the Froggies realized we made a better drop than they did and protested, forcing us to call it ANYTHING else but 'Champagne'.
Still better than Frog's piss, anyway...

Of course, if the Americans are still calling their Champers 'Champagne' then no wonder the French are against the US stance on Iraq...[nothing to do with Oil deals at all]...
