Alas, the latest instalment of Bond has been pushed back yet again to the autumn of 2021. So what are die hard 007 fans to do for nine months while their patience is tested by Covid delays yet again? A tipple from Bond’s drinks cabinet might be just the thing to help the months pass.
Although No Time to Die – the 25th film in the 007 canon – is set to be Daniel Craig’s final appearance as our man with the Walther PPK, you can rest assured that it won’t be Bollinger’s. Bolly, you see, has been the preferred fizz – the Official Champagne, no less – for the celluloid Bond since its first ice bucket outing in Moonraker in 1979. Indeed, so proud is Bollinger of its association with the franchise that last year it released 407 magnums of Bollinger 2007 in dramatic, Moonraker-inspired, Eric Berthes-designed, packaging to celebrate the 40 year partnership. An absolute must for any Bond/Bolly lover at, erm, just £4,500 a pop.
