Good point. I thought about packing champagne in the carry-on but then my wife would send me on a guilt trip about how we need the luggage space for the kids’ stuff. I’m with you, though!

Drink it.

I did. It was Kirkland and finished up half the bottle. What’s painful is that my wife’s family is in the 1% and can easily spring for a bottle of Cristal
