I don’t make a habit of posting twice in the same day, let alone two posts on the same topic, but that garish ‘Bordello Bubbly‘ post has been making me cringe all day. I couldn’t let that stand as my ode to Global Champagne Day! So here is something rather more tasteful.
With apologies to Taittinger, I must confess that this is a glass of Mumm champagne. All I can say in my defence is that Mumm is on sale in Sydney this week! The very elegant glass itself was, uh, liberated from the Dorchester in London. The backdrop is genuine Taittinger: it’s the bag they put my ice bucket in when I bought it in Reims.

LOL, I never even thought of that! But you’re quite right. I have no shame.
But it IS a classy pic — even if the post itself is not. 😉

BTW, after the photo shoot, I put the Dorchester glass back safely in the cupboard, and am drinking the Mumm from a K-Mart champagne glass — six for $10.
I wonder how many times “Dorchester” and “K-Mart” have appeared in the same sentence before? 😉

The picture is great… the sentiment is equally great.. I’m just sorry we didn’t get back online in time to join in the toast to “Champagne Day”.

Ah well, I know you would have done so if possible! A pity you weren’t still up north, this would have been a perfect excuse for bubbles on the patio.
