Would you have thought Champagne vacations & service included actual champagne?

Well people often expect Champagne at Lambrini prices !!! I'm quite happy with a good Cava or Prosecco which in my opinion is often just as good as Champagne at a fraction of the price . I've also tried some English Sparkling Wine and can recommend Chapel Down from the Tenterden vineyard in Kent which is available in most supermarkets although it's not actually that cheap in price .

Most marketing blurb is more descriptive rather than what it literally says it is , but champagne service does imply champagne being served , whilst a champagne vacation would imply a visit to a region in France rather than Cuba to me . It is a poor choice of word to describe an actual product that Sunwing are selling and I think they are right to remove the advertising , but raising a claim does feel petty to me .

No surprise to me , in this "compensation" ridden culture we live in !

Is he really suing just because he didn't get served champagne though? I think he is making a point. If you advertise it, you should get it. Too often letters of complaint are just ignored or given a standard reply.

When you advertise something it has to be decent, legal, honest and truthful. Champagne the drink has a legal definiation and in the public eye it is a luxury item, something the TO alludes to

Sunwing said the terms 'champagne vacations' and 'champagne service' were used 'to denote a level of service in reference to the entire
hospitality package'

as the lawyer says -

"It's the consumer message behind it."
