I had a glass of snaps on a sailing ship in Oslo fjord Norway about five years ago. It cost me about £18.00 and it wasn't even chilled

My husband paid £18 for 1 single shot of whisky. If I'd known that at the time he'd have been paying quite a bit for a steak to put on his black eye too

We paid over £100 for a bottle of Barolo in Milan, we were staying here...

Hotel Principe Di Savoia | Luxury 5 Star Hotel Milan | 5 Stars Hotel Milan | Dorchester Collection

The hotel was paid for by OH's company,so we spashed out on the wine,
cant remember what we had to eat, but the Barolo became a firm favourite.

We was on Holiday in Lanzarote staying at Timanfaya Palace and my husband wanted to buy a bottle of Don Perignon, I was a bit worried about spending £95 just in case I didnt like it but he said he would finish the bottle if that was the case, needless to say I loved it and wanted another bottle the night after but it seems that I would have to stick to my house wine

Regards
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
Glad I never took you up on your fly Barbados sail home invite. Dom Perinon watching the ships wake and the sun going PLOP sounds the deal but I always one begets two or more. My Jillie would certainly keep you company with her swipe card in hand. Her pat answer would be " well we are on hooiday" my groans when we got the account all unheeded.
You'r both worth it though.
Ta ra,
Alan

Was charged 68 pounds, for 2 pints,2 shandies,4 cokes,2 water in fruit market on Las Ramblas,felt as though I had been mugged!!!!!!!!

A small [very] glass of a very expensive Hennessy Cognac.

Being a very plain eater I'm not sure any of the expensive "delicacies" would suit my palette, I don't even profess to be an expert when it comes to wine/champagne, but I know what I like albeit whether it costs a fiver from Sainsbury's or £100 in a posh restaurant.

Years ago I went out with an Australian guy and tasted "pink champagne" for the first time, I have no idea how much it cost or if it was even a good brand but I was "hooked" and have enjoyed "champers" ever since but nothing really compares to a good glass of Red IMO.

It is a good job you did not get the Barolo Montfortino it's e. 1100.00 a bottle
