So last night, I was at a friend's drinking, and I offered to pop open a
1995 Heidsieck BdB. His response: it's too late for nice Champagne.

Discuss.

Well, I think I need that clarified. "Too late" as in I've already opened a red wine and I don't care to switch tracks, or as in I'm already 3-sheets to the wind and don't want to waste your nice bottle?

That much carbonation late at night doesn't always react within the system that well late at night or the next morning. Unless I'm drinking fizzies all night, I wouldn't normally end on a fizzy. but maybe I'm just getting old!

If her husband is due home any minute it is too late.

If it was too late, then the bottle should've served perfectly as an early breakfast. No time is ever the wrong time for Champagne.

Too late for Champagne?
This is why clocks have those devices to change where the hands point. Just move the hands of the clock back a few hours, and....PRESTO....it's Champagne time!

BWAHAHA.

Oh, and it was only around 8:30, after a few beers and before the reds!

I agree with WIML, he's a pussy.
