A few months ago I needed several bottles of champagne for a recipe, so I decided to just go with a dozen bottles of André because, well, it costs $4 and there was a refund offer. I ended up throwing away some bottles before retrieving the UPC symbols and a bunch of the labels I had were ripped, but I sent it in anyway. To my [pleasant] surprise, yesterday a refund check for the highest possible amount, $12, arrived in the mail! But the best part was that the check came with a note saying the following:

Thanks for enjoying America's favorite sparking wine.

-André

Signed by André himself! And with the fascinating factoid that André is America's favorite. I'd like to see the research on that one...
