Belarusian Lena is a wine blogger and sommelier with over 20 years of experience in the industry. She shared with us the story of how she put together the "perfect order" for a Hollywood actor at the "Festus" store in Sopot
“On Saturday, an American came in. He asked if we had Cristal and Dom Pérignon. We only had one bottle — Cristal Rosé 2013 for 3529 zlotys, but he needed four. I suggested supplementing the order with champagne from another house. He refused: ‘a strict rider for the actor’ — only Cristal, only four bottles,” Lena recounts.
Sommelier proposed a solution: to gather the required amount from other stores in the chain and asked the customer to return later.
„Naprawdę wrócił w poniedziałek, odebrał zamówienie i dokonał sprzedaży” — dodaje Lena.
The actor’s name was not mentioned — but considering that Henry Cavill was in Sopot during those days, conclusions can be drawn.
Why Cristal?

W Sopocie jednak historia zakończyła się banalnie: klient przyszedł, odebrał zamówienie i wyszedł.
