Crate & Barrel...With Champagne

Dear Crate & Barrel,
I commend you on trying to sell your champagne flutes, with your catchy title, a colorful back drop, fake ice cubes, and of course, the fake empty bottle of champagne.
But unfortunately, this is not how you sell champagne glasses C&B. Where's the fun? Where's the celebration? Where's the god damn party? Listen, if I am going to drop $3.95 on champagne flutes (and a lot of them) & $49.95 on a bottle chiller, you better make sure a good time is going to be had by all. We need to take this display to the next level. I'm talking, multiple bottles, some empty, some full, and some just plain knocked over. We need party hats, pickle platters, pinatas. I'd throw in free tastings, free massages, free lap dances. Make it interactive.  This is champagne we are talking about, not your grandma's fruit punch.
And speaking of grandmothers, mine had better drapes than whatever crap you have hanging there. Cheers!
