This was handled by an earlier CFI.

Since a glass of champagne is an alcoholic beverage, and since there is a=
 rule providing for the creation of generic alcoholic beverages, the=
 creation of glasses of champagne is regulated.  Since it is regulated,=
 there can be no not-explicitly-rule-stated procedure for the creation of a=
 glass of champagne.

Rule 25 doesn't apply in this case.  The creation of a glass of champagne=
 isn't a duty not assigned  to other players.  It's a gamestate change, and=
 that's managed by the administrator already.

How many times are we gonna spank this puppy?
