“Thirst” at Cannes
If one were inclined to whine while in Cannes (and I’m not because I love it over here), one could bemoan the absence this year after a decade of free Stella Artois in the pressroom. It was always nice after a brisk jaunt up the Croisette in the warm climes of the Riviera to know that a free beer was waiting if you wanted it. No more.
Apparently, the recession has made Stella Artois rethink its party-going ways in Cannes. Sigh.
A pint of Guinness goes for about 6 Euros during the fest. That’s about $8.50 to $9. So it’s a bit of an expense. But one must make do. A cocktail at a hotel is about $20 to $30, depending on whether it’s a call drink or a special label. It’s better to stick with wine, which goes for about $4 or $5.
