Champagne vending machines exist because there is light even in the darkest of times

Yes, the world is spiraling downwards into a fiery chasm. Yes, our earth and its environment are rapidly decaying and will soon dissolved into scorched nothing. Yes, staggering inequality runs horrifically rampant in our modern society.

But champagne vending machines are now a thing.

The first model has taken up residence in Las Vegas’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel, dispensing little bitty bottles of Moët to quests along with tiny champagne flutes after paying $2o at the front desk in exchange for a chic gold coin that operates the machine.

Though this is the first “public” champagne vending machine in the States, Travel and Leisure says Moët-Hennessy headquarters has one for employees — and if The Tab cared about my happiness, we’d get one too.

It’s comforting to know that even in times of trouble, we’ll always have overpriced, tiny bottles of champagne to turn to.
