Every so often a big house offers Champagne for $20-25 wholesale or thereabouts, in order to grab glass pours. My thought is that in those times the wine is offered at a loss or at the level of breaking even, to gain market position. Of course those other houses who lose a glass pour because of this might not be too happy about being undercut on price.

I think he may be referring to this.

Oh. So he's suggesting a little less cutting each others' throats and instead standing united against artisanal cava and pet nat with bacon carbonara?

Yessir. Holding to the idea that it is a better product that should cost more, as opposed to a product that sometimes resorts to big price cuts to get restaurant placements.

Have no fear. They're working hard to coopt the "biodynamic" and "grower" memes.

chuck's people have been sounding out my people about bottle shapes. the chubby meme has, after all, a certain history in champagne.

this is the proposed design for the new biodynamic, domaine c. philipponnat clos des mecs gras de mutigny grand cru.

throw in the tasteful presentation glass concept, and i think it's kind of winning.
