Tastes good.
About the same heat level as standard Tabasco.
Noticed the difference in vinegar (distilled white vs. wine).
Other than that it tastes like Tabasco.
Worth $40 for taste difference? Meh..
Worth $40 for novelty? Maybe. I picked it up for this reason. The Champagne bottle shape and gold foil wrapped cap is kind of neat. The plastic cap is gold too.
