I can't really see Jerome interested Champagne futures though (even if he is French). Just the idea that he's arranging delivery of the stuff makes me chuckle.

Not to mention a home refinery is a bit of a pig. Which is of course why people invented futures so that speculators could capture the money without touching the underlying commod. Not that that works all the time. This year the GSCI lost something like 20% even though it is 60%+ oil and oil was unchanged. Paying to roll month by month ate them alive.
