That makes it somewhat understandable as to how someone might like the $100 PJ better. They might be able to tell the difference between the $40 PJ and the $100 PJ, but not the $100 PJ and the $300 Cristal. When you're able to tell the difference between something like the $100 PJ or the Veuve Ponsardin or an off vintage Dom, then you take the step up to better vintage Doms, Krug, and Cristal.
3. They are put off by the hip hop/flashy image of the brand. An image the company itself has tried to distance itself from.
4. They were offended by comments the Roederer CEO made when giving his own opinion about all the hip hop shout outs. Comments that led Jay Z to boycott.
5. They think it's fun to say it sucks because they enjoy playing the role of a contrarian even if they've never tried it.
6. They were already drunk when they drank it.

1) And still waiting...
2) It would need some taste before you could appreciate it.
3) Oh shit it's a black hiphop thing? I best give up pussy, nice/fast cars, and money then!
4) No idea who Roederer is.. and I'm not a JayZ fan either.
5) I've had it several times, it's never been good.
6) Probably not... as when I'm drunk, I never drink anything that tastes bad for fear that it will come back up. Cristal would for sure be one of those drinks.
Let me add a #7... Cheap shit taste better, to prove it - blindfold yourself, taste several types, and rank them. The Cristal will be at the very bottom - like it always is for everyone that does this. Just like if you have cheap stuff vs. Cristal, almost everyone will say the cheap stuff is better if they have no idea which is which.
Cristal is the bud light of Champagne... oh it's drinkable, some people rave about (that it has taste)... but the rest of the world knows it's complete shit.
