    Ok , who else is Boycotting CRISTAL ??

    Jay-Z leads Cristal boycott........
    Personally I feel the stuff is overrated, there are much better champagnes out there for less money. Just saw this on CNN this morning check it out

                  Why are black people always taking everything as being racist? The cristal guys comments where not racist at all, rappers are not a race and nothing was mentioned on skin colour.

                      I've never drank Cristal in my life so I guess I'm boycotting it too

                      I still have a bottle at home for over 6 months already though

                                              Jay-Z is a businessman before anything else, and like any good entreprenuer, he refused to promote something without getting paid for his efforts.

                                              While he was making money selling it at his club, I doubt he will lose sleep over the 50-100K/year.

                                              Cristal does not make its money off the hip-hop crowd; their broke and too young as a whole for that product. Cristal's brand image was shifting and that would obviously be a blow to the bottom line.

                                              If you put a little Red Bull in your champagne, it all tastes pretty close after the first hour. A la carte, Dom Rose is the choice.

                                                              Joking aside (yes the circumstance is odd/funny), but I actually do think Jay-Z's stance has some merit. If you read what was said, and understand how much of an impact rappers have on mainstream culture & buying trends you will understand what a slap in the face this is.

                                                              Decade later that same company in a roundabout way says "they are embarrassed" to have such a large urban demographic. It's ridiculous. Yes, and I'm an irish white guy who typically doesn't give two shit for boycotts/anything with racial overtones.

"I view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands including The 40/40 Club nor in my personal life."

                                                                                                                                          If you can't tell the difference between 15 bucks worth of sparkling wine and a $400 bottle of "Cris" or don't care.... than you shouldn't be drinking it anyway.

                                                                                                                                          Same with Hennesey if you don't know what VO and XO means and can't tell the difference between that and hooch whiskey.. then drink something you like cuz you want to drink it.
