That reminds me of my time as a barman at the Hove Park Tavern c1987 and a young lad came in with his girlfriend and trying to impress asked for a glass of Le Piat D'or for her.(It was advertised on tv at the time as something glamorous).
I had to tell him we only had a house white which was standard for pubs at the time. The look of disappointment - felt really sorry for him in his quest to impress.
I got a free case of Le Piat D'Or from P&O Ferries a couple of years ago as a "bonus" of booking a Dover- Calais crossing. I think the box is still sitting in my garage now (I did wonder if I might use it for some sort of beef & red wine stew, but had largely forgotten about it until now).
