Artificial Intelligence has a bit of a double-edged sword. AI will decimate the middle class if it has its way. What a profit seeking corporation needs is rock bottom low labour costs. Eliminate costs, increase profitability and pump-up bonuses to the “senior management team” and throw a few extra pesos to shareholders. Worth celebrating for some at least. And the revolutionaries will need something to toast when millions of displaced employees face starvation after foodbanks run out and the state has no cash placate the unemployed who storm Mar-a-Lago.
While those with puffed pockets will celebrate with Champagne the more economical revolutionaries will toast with Crémant after the plundering the wine cellars of the 1% in the revolution. Why not as Crémant is made the same way Champagne is but very much cheaper.
To get you in the mood for the revolution why not try a Crémant?
Aroma: Citrusy and biscuity complimented by peach, tangerine and pineapple. Very much of a chattery sparkler.
Palate: A nice acidic bite but hardly a ripping one. Peach, ginger and pear. Moderately long finish a bit fruity yet still crisp.
Food Match: Cobb Salad. Caeser Salad.
Personality: I am no second-class citizen. Perhaps suitable as I am from the land of the French Revolution. So I have experience with revolutions. In North America and Europe who knows another revolution may be on the horizon.
Cellarbility: Drink now.
Price: $23.95 CDN (Ontario).
