What Kind of price on Crystal Champagne?

[BigTee2000]

I am getting ready to go to the eastern Car. I have seen you can get good prices on Dom but what about Crystal? Has anyone seen this there?

 

Thanks

I do not recall seeing Crystal in several wine shops, but I am sure that somebody would carry it in places like St Maarten and St Thomas. The big question is whether you will save much money, and that depends a lot on where you live. We have also noticed that in St Thomas the inventory can really vary depending on pure luck. We once spoke to the manager of a well known St Thomas liquor store and he explained that sometimes shipments will lag and cause the entire island to run out of certain items. Generally when one store has something, you can also find it at their competitors.

We found Dom on the Dutch side of St. Marten for $60 for the bottle. It was a shop on New Street as your almost to the very end away from the end by the casino. It was on the left side, near a shop advertising "Disney Babies". They only take cash! If I recall it was a half basement store, if that makes any sense at all.

We found Cristal on the Dutch side in St. Maarten. I think it was Ray's Jewelry, 123 Front St. They have an email: rays@megatropic.com and a website: www.raysjewelry.com (I found the receipt for the jewelry I bought - but not for the Cristal.) It was about $100/bottle - but don't quote me. Good luck - and enjoy the best champagne there is!!!

BigTee2000,

 

I'm loving this thread!

I'm glad to see people out there who appreciate the finer things in life and Crystal champagne is certainly one of the best.Not to be confused with the plonk they call Dom Perignon.

 

Good luck in finding this nectar of the gods.Now if you can find any Crystal Rose magnums,then you'll really be doing good!

I agree cruiserforlife. To many people settle instead of looking for the nicer things in life. I am hoping that a few people let me know where to find Crystal.

Hey, I'm not P-diddy, but I would love to hook up with a bottle of Crys for my cruise on May 1st!! If I could find $100 bottles, I'd be in heaven. Jamaica is out (obviously for those of us that have been there), but what about Grand Cayman? Point me in the right direction and look out. Thanks.

Well, excuse me!

 

Crystal is a fine champagne, but I actually prefer Dom, and certainly don't think of it as plonk. I was trying to be helpful with the suggestion of Dom if you were unable to locate Crystal at a good price.

 

And btw--I have many of the finer things in life...I own two homes, my primary residence in NJ just north of Princeton, and a second home in a gated golf and country club community in Florida (no it's not a time share, and no I don't rent it out when I'm not using it.) I also own points in the the Disney Vacation Club which are worth two peak weeks in a top rated II resort. When I travel to other places, it's first class. (Fairmont, Four Seasons, etc.) On RCCL I have two cruises booked in the next 18 months, one in a GS (Sovereign) the other in the RS (Mariner). How about you?

This thread is funny,thanks for the chuckle.

 

I don't understand how a champagne question turns into a thread about personal wealth. There's no correlation between wealth and good taste. I am a living testament to that! LOL.

 

By the way ducklite,its tacky to talk about your possessions in tha above manner. There are many on these boards who are wealthier,and we don't talk about it.

[realtor1]

Hey ducklite, need a good Realtor in Florida? You know us Realtors, we rank just in front of attorneys. We have no shame and would even work for somebody such as yourself (absolutely no class). Let me know.

The quote was "To many people settle instead of looking for the nicer things in life" as if because I prefer Dom I lack good taste or do not have the finer things in life. Not the case.

[awatt]

True,true,and unrelated.

 

The number of possessions you own has nothing to do with good taste.

 

Its still tasteless to talk about one's personal wealth.

[ducklite]

I don't think "The Donald" would agree.

While Mr Trymp has lots of money,I would not consider him a pinnacle of class. That's exactly my point. Unquestionably successful,yes. Classy,no.

 

Whether its him or you,its tacky.

[LJR213]

Do the ships carry Dom or Crystal? If they do does anyone know what the prices are? I would love to get a bottle to celebrate just crusing and being on vacation.

Well the $100.00 a bottle is a good price but has anyone else found it...

I've never had either Dom or Cristal. I'd like to try them though. I'm just a poor gal though, so I guess it will be a while.

Well,I have never partaken of either(but a couple of my best Horses have)

 

All I know is,if we're going to fight about it,we should at least spell it the same.

I have never seen CRYSTAL.

 

[Guest OBAYbee]

AQHAFAN !! Hahahahaha I'll drink to that!

You missed a prime opporunity in your post. Instead of Horses *horse-doovers* (hors d'oeuvres)

 

LOL!

[matcris77381]

to aquafan's point - those of you who imbibe in "Crystal", what are you drinking?

[ducklite]

I'm drinking Dom

 

Anne

[ACKtung]

I agree - if you partake in the finer things so much, lets spell it correctly! Anyone enjoy Perrier-Jouet? I love it!

ACKtung-

 

Very nice indeed! I've had the pleasure of trying several vintages of this fine champagne, as well as the cuvee, which although good, I wouldn't have chosen on my own.

 

The floral bottles are lovely as well
