Saw a new display cabinet in the local supermarket promoting Moët & Chandon, which is the champagne we tend to drink in the family. Where we're always amused by the label's nickname of "Moed & Schande" - which sounds very similar and means "Courage & Disgrace" because in the olden Calvinist Netherlands it took courage to bear the disgrace of (being seen) imbibing something as frivolous as this. We of course have no problems with the stuff, though I -would- take the regular bottles instead of these vividly coloured examples on display. Perhaps a bit too frivolous after all.
