Lowering the Bar: 5 Places to Drink for Cheap (or Free) This Week
1. Art in the Age Cocktail Competition: Art in the Age is holding a cocktail contest at 15 Romolo, designed to show off its two signature spirits, Root (which tastes like root beer) and Snap (reminiscent of gingersnaps). But what really has us rooting is that the event is open to the public, and they'll be offering $4 Root and Snap concoctions all evening, plus free hors d'oeuvres. RSVP to get on the list. (Monday, July 11th, 8 pm, at 15 Romolo, 15 Romolo Pl., North Beach.)
2. Top of the Mark Summer Movie Series: All summer long, the Top of the Mark in the Mark Hopkins Hotel is screening San Francisco-set movies on Tuesday nights, with a free wine tasting beforehand from Domaine Chandon (through July 19th), MacMurray Ranch (July 26th-August 16th), or Brancott & Ravenswood (August 23rd-September 6th). Next Tuesday's film is D.O.A. ). Want to make it special? Goldstar's offering a $25 package that includes reserved seating for the film, appetizers, and two rounds of martinis. (Tuesdays through September 6th, wine tasting at 5:30 pm, movie at 7:30 pm, at Top of the Mark, 999 California St., Nob Hill.)
3. Revenge of the Nerds Drink-a-Long: For July, Cinema Speakeasy's monthly event at GAFFTA will be a drinking party centered around Revenge of the Nerds (whose title is a pretty good summary of Bay Area life). They'll be pouring $3 Tecate, PBR, and Speakeasy brews (the latter while supplies last), along with $4 red and white wine. Admission is $5, and there's a set of rules for how to drink in time with the film-- anytime anyone says "nerd," you're drinking, which is, well, dangerous. (Saturday, July 9th, 7:30 pm, at GAFFTA, 998 Market St., Tenderloin.)
4. Hog & Rocks Anniversary Bash: The Mission's purveyor of fine pork and oysters is turning one this week, and they're celebrating with an all-you-can-eat-and-drink party. Your $25 admission buys access to oysters, a roasted whole pig, and platters of ham and prosciutto, not to mention Tres Agaves margaritas, Maker's Mark cocktails, and draft beer. It's a lineup we wish we could steal for our own birthday. Tickets must be purchased in advance; check out their Facebook event page for info on how to buy 'em. (Sunday, July 10th, 3-7 pm, at Hog and Rocks, 3431 19th St., Mission.)
5. Maverick Birthday Champagne: Hog & Rocks shares a birth week with its older sister Maverick, which turns six next Wednesday. If you have dinner there that night, they'll give you a free glass of champagne to celebrate. Happy birthday, Maverick empire, and thank you for all the cheap booze you bring into our lives. (Wednesday, July 13th, 5:30-10 pm, at Maverick, 3316 17th St., Mission.

How You Can Get Cheap Champagne Glasses Of Good Quality ...
Sparkling wine is a special kind of wine made of three or more types of grape, and it ranges in colour from a pale yellow to a rich, deep gold to a blushing pink. The most exclusive and popular of all sparkling wine is champagne. What makes champagne different from other sparkling wines is that it is only made and produced in Champagne, France. Champagne can get quite expensive, and when you start loving this special drink, you won’t think twice of joining wine auctions and spending hundreds of dollars for a vintage bottle. And as champagne lovers and wine connoisseurs say, it’s better to spend your money on a good champagne bottle and enjoy it in cheap champagne glasses .
But where can you get cheap champagne glasses of good quality? For there is no way you can truly relax and appreciate champagne if you’re too busy worrying about how to handle a fragile crystal glass. Cheap, well-made champagne glasses combine the best of stemware: they don’t cost too much, and you can use them whenever you want. Some of the most popular wine glass brands like Riedel, Baccarat and Waterford offer big discounts if you order their products online.
As special and exclusive as champagne is, the right glass will make it taste perfect. There is a reason why champagne glassware look the way they do, and not like square glasses or cups and mugs. The bubbles in champagne are best displayed in a tall, thin bowl; and the delicate flavours of champagne can evaporate too quickly if you serve it in a large, wide-mouthed glass. That is why flute and tulip glasses are all long and thin. Buy your champagne flutes and tulips online at Amazon or the official websites of wine glass companies, and get the best quality champagne glassware at the lowest prices.
