Famous Champagne Quotes
What 3 things would you take to a desert island and why?
I was recently asked this question and without too much thought i came up with my perfect answer;
1. Mr. Spittoon – the boyfriend (he is much more entertaining than a TV or iPod could ever be!!)
2. A case of Champagne (a drink which can make even a dire situation seem almost dream-like)
3. A chilly bin full of ice (can’t have warm Champagne can we)
With these 3 things, i think i would be fully satisfied,well for a while at least! Champagne above all has to be my choice of drink, nothing bets it, its like a boost of happy endorphins in a glass.
So on this thought i figured i might share some of my favourite Champagne quotes with you all;
Lily Bollinger was asked “When do you drink champagne?”, and she replied: “I only drink champagne when I’m happy, and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty”.
