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

lol people need to learn to just Chill Man

s9ann0 · 06-16-2006, 03:55 AM

yea I have been boycotting it for a while

cranki · 06-16-2006, 03:58 AM

fortunately, this is a problem I don't have... champagne tastes like crap...

Blazed · 06-16-2006, 03:58 AM

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.

Bike · 06-16-2006, 03:58 AM

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

gooddomains · 06-16-2006, 03:59 AM

way to expensice

gooddomains · 06-16-2006, 04:00 AM

sorry, had to much crystal today

chupachups · 06-16-2006, 04:08 AM

I agree, not worth it.

Jace · 06-16-2006, 04:38 AM

since when is "hip hop" a race?

Lee · 06-16-2006, 04:43 AM

I couldnt give a flying fuck what Jay z thinks personally.

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.

vidvicious · 06-16-2006, 05:52 AM

we had crystal for my BDay last week .. still tasted like Piss water to me ...

Manowar · 06-16-2006, 05:55 AM

i doubt they will lose any sleep over it

DWB · 06-16-2006, 06:09 AM

what, they don't like ignorant acting black people pushing their product? Wow... Never saw that one coming.

AVM · 06-16-2006, 06:10 AM

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.

Love Sex · 06-16-2006, 06:10 AM

They order crystal cause its the only one they know. I dont like the taste

don't use drugs on this end of the net . .

Madame0120 · 06-16-2006, 06:37 AM

Tattengers is a better choice, for mid-range champagne. Cristal is all about the pretty bottle.

DaddyHalbucks · 06-16-2006, 07:40 AM

Cristal made a blunder. Who are they to pick and choose? Money is green, no matter who spends it. They should have been more appreciative of all of their customers. They look like a bunch of snobs.

G-Rotica · 06-16-2006, 07:58 AM

Well as an aspiring rapper, I've never cared for Cristal. My shit says Mogan David or I don't drink it.

"That's a good question, but what can we do? We can't forbid people from buying it. I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business."

what an idiot

I ll remember that at your next b-day ... I wont buy THAT shit anymore...

btw to be called CHAMPAGNE it need to be produced in the champagne region of FRANCE... otherwise its sparkling wine...

Kristian · 06-16-2006, 08:14 AM

I'll cancel my weekly order in favor of 3 quid bubbly from Tescos.

tony286 · 06-16-2006, 08:19 AM

to me it tastes like piss water Perrier Jouet Fleur Blanc is far better and goes for about a hundred bucks a bottle.

hova · 06-16-2006, 08:23 AM

Cristal is for idiots that like rap music

Linkster · 06-16-2006, 08:26 AM

There are so many better vineyards out there - and bottles in the $20-40 range that taste way better and are 10 times the wine - its all about hype and a bunch of sheep that think they have to spend huge amounts of money to look cool - even Dom sucks compared to the cheaper stuff but again it was the "cool" thing to have because celebrities would pay for it - waste of money

madawgz · 06-16-2006, 08:44 AM

publicity stunt anyone?

Louis Roederer makes other Champagne aside from Cristal that is under 80 bucks a bottle and good.

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.

Bling* Bling*

Cory W · 06-16-2006, 01:10 PM

They are very touchy about their brand. Man would I love to post a picture right now haha

06-16-2006, 01:16 PM

Dom tastes much better to me anyways.

Holly · 06-16-2006, 01:17 PM

I hope this boycott doesn't spill over to crystal meth. I'd be really upset.

edgeprod · 06-16-2006, 01:22 PM

Now is the time to come out with a new brand .. or to rebrand something .. market it right to the hip-hop crowd at $500/bottle.

Clean up.

Mr. Romance · 06-16-2006, 01:26 PM

Agree it is over rated; however, it enhances romance...so it will still be on my table....word JZ!

Mr. Romance

puravida · 06-16-2006, 01:29 PM

aico · 06-16-2006, 01:32 PM

Jay-Z is having Delusions of Grandeur

Deraj · 06-16-2006, 01:39 PM

That's Cristal Meth buddy.. lol.. and Cristal is good shit imo, but the fact of the matter is, when you buy it, it's to show that you spent a rediculous amount of money on a bottle of champagne.
