Champagne wisdom, Part Un
We’re approaching everybody’s favorite time for Champagne (which for me is anytime). So here are some famous folks’ thoughts on this bubbly delight:
• “My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne.” – John Maynard Keynes
• “In victory you deserve Champagne, in defeat you need it.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
• “Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming of viands.” – Lord Byron
• “Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends.” – Francis Bacon (left)
• “A man must not dream of dying until he has drunk five thousand bottles of Champagne and smoked one hundred thousand cigars.” – Otto von Bismarck
• “Three be the things I shall never attain: envy, content, and sufficient Champagne.” – Dorothy Parker
Remember gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for, it’s champagne.
Winston Churchill – WWI
That’s outstanding!
Sounds not only true to the man but certainly truthful period. :o)
