This is the stuff I would use for launching a ship or toasting an occasion. The good stuff would stay home for me to drink.

Baptizing a ship with Champale is a surefire way to bring it bad luck while toasting an occasion with Champale is a surefire way to tell everybody you're a cheapskate. The ad is clear; the stuff is made to be drunk at home, in secret, or hidden in a brown paper bag.
