Champagnes and sparkling wines
"I drink
Champagne when I am happy
and when I am sad.
Sometimes I drink it when I am alone.
When I have company
I consider it indispensable.
I play with it
if I am not hungry and if I am,
I let me taste it.
I never touch it otherwise
- except if I am thirsty.

Lily Bollinger
