Is Ballatore the new Cristal? Celebrities are finally catching on to the bubbly dream that is Ballatore.

The latest issue of OK magazine reports that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri were spotted toasting "the launch of his new book, Young, Rich, and Dangerous, with Ballatore sparking wine".

While me and my peeps have been toasting exclusively with Ballatore for too many years to count, I'm not going to go to "I told you so". I'm happy to share, there is plenty to go around. Plus it is just nice to see celebrities touting something that doesn't break the bank. Ballatore usually runs $6-$9 a bottle- it's a steal and a deal. While I would imagine Janet and Jermaine could have their pick of just about any champagne or sparkling wine around, why bother? Who needs to spend more money on something that isn't going to be as good?

Consumer tip- Ballatore only seems exclusive. Not many liquor stores seems to have it on their shelves. However, I've found that liquor stores around me are quite happy to stock up if you ask nicely. So, speak up if you don't see it. I think you'll be quite happy you did.
