Working in events industry have met a few famousers
this a slightly off topic quicky though , we were doing a gig for some rich cunt who had a massive garden in which he'd put a few marquees , the line up for after dinner was Dionne Warwick , Des O 'Conner and the opera singer Russel Watson , chosen because his equally rich cunt mate's party the year before had tribute acts , so he got the real ones , oh and in the reception marquee he had Acker Bilk and his band.

The guys gardeners were brand new , particularly after they caught Ackers manager trying to leg it with six bottles of cristal champagne , the £ 2000.00 p bottle stuff which was for the special guests . The manager was apologetic and explained that he thought they were entitled to a rider and the gardeners agreed they were , but that it was the other stuff they were supposed to get, a snip at three hundred a pop.

Exchange was made and we proceeded to quaff the proper stuff from the neck of the bottle round the back of a tent , it was lovely but could have been a bit more chilled .

Length ? , eight of us emptied six bottles in about ten mins , happy days

Cristal
is NOT generally £2,000 a bottle.

Of course, I could charge you £10 for a bottle of Evian, but it doesn't make it the general case.

For your common-or-garden Cristal, I would suggest a figure of £150 per bottle, tops.

apologies for the hyperbole , there was a disgusting amount of money spent though
