1. "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." (Lily Bollinger)
2. "I drink champagne when I win, to celebrate . . . and I drink champagne when I lose, to console myself." (Napoleon Bonaparte)
3. "In victory we deserve it, in defeat we need it." (Winston Churchill)
4. "I love Champagne because it always tastes as though my foot's asleep." (Art Buchwald)
5. "Champagne is the only wine that enhances a woman’s beauty." (Madame Pompadour)
6. “Champagne makes you feel like it’s Sunday and better days are just around the corner." (Marlene Dietrich)
7. "My only regret in life is that I did not drink more champagne." (John Meynard Keynes)
8. "Champagne with foaming whirls as white as Cleopatra's melted pearls." (Lord Byron)
9. "Come brothers, hurry, I am drinking stars!" (Dom Perignon)
10. "Champagne is the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful after drinking it." (Madame De Pompadour)
11. "Champagne is made and sold by a hard-headed, hard-working, rather cold-blooded bunch of people, fully aware that no one needs to drink Champagne, that its glamorous patina needs constant polishing. They can never let up. The selling has to be continuous." (Nicholas Faith)
12. "Two warm bodies and one cold bottle of Champagne will produce something more wonderful than would happen without the Champagne." (Helen Gurley Brown)
13. "Champagne offers a minimum of alcohol and a maximum of companionship." (David Niven)
14. "Champagne is the wine of civilization and the oil of government." (Winston Churchill)
15. "I was enjoying myself now. I had taken two fingerbowls of Champagne and the scene had changed before my eyes into something significant, elemental, and profound." (Talleyrand)
16. "Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right." (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
17. "One holds a bottle of red wine by the neck, a woman by the waist, and a bottle of Champagne by the derriere." (Mark Twain)
18. "To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with." (Mark Twain)

ALGERNON:And, speaking of the science of Life, have you got the cucumber sandwiches cut for Lady Bracknell?
LANE: Yes, sir. [Hands them on a salver.]
ALGERNON: [Inspects them, takes two, and sits down on the sofa.] Oh! . . . by the way, Lane, I see from your book that on Thursday night, when Lord Shoreman and Mr. Worthing were dining with me, eight bottles of champagne are entered as having been consumed.
LANE: Yes, sir; eight bottles and a pint.
ALGERNON: Why is it that at a bachelor's establishment the servants invariably drink the champagne? I ask merely for information.
LANE: I attribute it to the superior quality of the wine, sir. I have often observed that in married households the champagne is rarely of a first-rate brand.
ALGERNON: Good heavens! Is marriage so demoralising as that?
LANE: I believe it IS a very pleasant state, sir. I have had very little experience of it myself up to the present. I have only been married once. That was in consequence of a misunderstanding between myself and a young person.
-From "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1895) by Oscar Wilde.
Watch Her Disappear (extract ):
Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
You wear two lavender orchids
One in your hair and one on your hip
A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
And I hear a banjo tango
And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
And I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
