The same old thing – even if it’s champagne – is still the same old thing. Mason Cooley
Can you imagine opening a bottle of champagne with a bottle opener. I can’t. It would eliminate half the fun. Alain de Vogue
Champagne has the taste of an apple peeled with a steel knife. Aldous Huxley
There comes a time in every woman’s life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne. Bette Davis (in Old Acquaintance)

My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne. John Maynard Keynes
A single glass of champagne imparts a feeling of exhilaration. The nerves are braced, the imagination is agreeably stirred; the wits become more nimble. A bottle produces the contrary effect. Excess causes a comatose insensibility. Winston Churchill.

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
Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content, and sufficient champagne. Dorothy Parker
