Has anyone else nearly shot their TV?

Well, it's nice to feel so welcome. Thanks. I can forgive almost anyone in South America for using the term Champagne 31 years ago, just as I can forgive any of the early immigrants to the USA for using any Old World appellation. Those were the only names known at the time and using them to express differences in style was only logical. Roberto, there is of course one small flaw in your latest titbit: beer the drink was not originally produced in "Beer" the place, but I know what you mean and I love you. You sell my book! Coors is a great group and Miller should stick to TV adverts, but not actually have any product to sell. As to Budweiser, it sells over here at a ridiculous price (mind you a couple of cents would be two cents too much) and it is difficult to tell people they can buy genuine Budweiser Budvar for much less. And even when we get the message across, it doesn't work. My nephew tried Budvar and turned his nose up. When I asked him what was wrong, he said it tastes! Roberto, I saw your message about this thread getting highjacked, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, you lot hijacked one of our colonies and turned it into the good old US of A. But you're right, of course. Please educate me. Precisely which brands are advertising themselves as "The Official Champagne of the Millennium Celebration"?
