I like that this subverts some conventions of the genre - the leads sleep together in Act I, the focus on Henri and Hugos relationship, the heavy use of French - so I wish we didn't need this third Act breakup, but cliches gonna cliche. #ChampagneProblems #HATM

I guess one of the bright sides of being a sailor is that you can just get "lost at sea" to avoid any messy breakups, and just be sure to stay on the boat if you ever end up back in that port. #ChampagneProblems #HATM

Interesting undercurrent of climate change in all of this, something that is super relevant to champagne (and wine, and life in general). #ChampagneProblems #HATM

Glad that the Cassell family managed to keep their heads during the various upheavals since 1682, though perhaps they were able to solve a lot of problems with liberal applications of champagne. #ChampagneProblems #HATM

Anytime someone is like "my dad ditched out when I was a kid and I lost track of him," and their love interest is like "my dad is kind of a jerk," you should verify that these are not the same father. #ChampagneProblems #HATM

At what point does it become a Champagne Problem? Is it like a fancy drinking problem, or an "oh God, I have spent $10,000 on a bottle of fizzy vinegar"? #ChampagneProblems #HATM

It's only a Champagne Problem if it comes from the Champagne region of France; otherwise it is a Champagne Supernova: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI-5...

I treat boycotts as personal blood vendettas. This is about me physically harming a corporation, not about me telling any other human how to live their life.
I don’t have time to judge others while I’m digging two graves for me and Target.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.
