Quotes:
“Bollinger is not just a champagne, but an institution, a bastion of solid, reassuring consistency in an industry with many changing faces.”  – Serena Sutcliffe, engl. Journalist

“I drink champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone; and when I have company, then it shouldn’t be missing. If I’m not hungry, I whet my appetite with it, and when I’m hungry, I enjoy it. Otherwise I don’t touch it unless I’m thirsty. ” – Lily Bollinger
