Entire world stocking up on celebration champagne "for no reason, just in case"

[Swede]

EARTH – Across the globe sales of champagne, a beverage commonly associated with celebrating good news, have spiked, with customers insisting it’s “not for any particular occasion” while simultaneously refreshing their phones’ newsfeeds for some reason.

“Sales of Veuve Clicquot, Dom Perignon, Moët & Chandon, they’re all through the roof! But, uh, who’s to say why, really,” remarked Anthony Jacobson, an alcoholic spirits retailer, as he kept one eye glued to a nearby TV screen playing CNN.

2. Wine I'd like not available; looked today.

May have to wait until covid's done, likely well after trump's done.

Prosecco!

3. We have a bottle in the downstairs fridge just in case.

It's never touched, it's always there. I'm thinking of buying another, one for election night and one for the day he leaves the White House. And if, god forbid he remains in office, i'll drink them both.

4. Screw the bubbly. Bourbon in my house. Bottle of Weller's 12 year ready to go.
