Bond's favourite Champage
Discussion
Bollinger, is currently on special offer at Sainsburys.
Normally £45 per bottle, is reduced to £29 which is a great deal in itself, however they also have a buy any 6 bottles of wine or champagne and get 25% off offer. So if you stack those two offers it ends up at just £21.75 per bottle.
Too good to miss at this price so had 4 bottles delivered this morning along with some wine to get the extra discount and just popped the cork on the first one tonight.

It is Bollinger however the original character in Ian Fleming’s novels preferred Taittinger remarking in Casino Royale “[1943 Taittinger] is probably the finest champagne in the world”.
There has been many references to his favourite tipple during a succession of movies as follows:
Live and Let Die: Bollinger
Moonraker: Bollinger RD ’69
View to a Kill: Bollinger ’75
License to Kill: Bollinger RD ’75
The Living Daylights: Bollinger
Goldeneye: Bollinger Grande Année 1988
Tomorrow Never Dies: Bollinger Grande Année 1989
The World Is Not Enough: Bollinger Grande Année 1990
Die Another Day: Bollinger ’61
Casino Royale: Bollinger Grande Année 1990
Quantum of Solace: Bollinger
There is the mention of other Champagnes as follows:
Dr. No: Dom Perignon ’55
From Russia with Love: Taittinger Blanc de Blanc
Goldfinger: Dom Perignon ’53
Thunderball: Dom Perignon ’55 (to accompany Beluga Caviar)
You Only Live Twice: Dom Perignon ’59,
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service Dom Perignon ’57.
The Man With The Golden Gun: Dom Perignon ’64
He does mention champagne in some of the narrative:
The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond: Bond quips “Maybe I misjudged Stromberg. Any man who drinks Dom Perignon ’52 can’t be all bad”
Goldfinger: Shortly before being painted gold Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton) is in bed with Bond, he gets up to get them a bottle of Champagne from the fridge bestowing these words of wisdom: “My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done. Such as drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above a temperature of 38 degrees Farenheight. That’s as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.”
The Living Daylights: Bond delivers a Harrods hamper to General Georgi Koskov who has defected and is being hidden in a country house. “What’s this? From Harrods a godsend, the food here is horrible. What’s this, Caviar, well that’s peasant food for us, but with champagne it’s ok. And more – Bollinger RD – the best!” Bond explains he took the liberty of changing it as the brand on the list was “questionable”.
Die Another day: After fourteen months of captivity Bond walks into a posh Hong Kong hotel looking like Robinson Crusoe with tatty clothes, long hair and a bushy beard. He asks for a room, food and champagne, “If there’s any left, the ’61 Bollinger” Now that’s style, shame the films crap!
