BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – MANY fans of “James Bond 007” often comment on his debonair appearance, the mystery that surrounds him, his skill in escaping the tightest of binds and his ability to sweep any woman off her feet.
Equally impressive is that Bond, James Bond, developed a taste for the Bollinger brand of Champagne and since 1973 it has been his brand of choice.
In an effort to sensitise the Kittitian and Nevisian public on the long-standing partnership between the James Bond and the Bollinger brands as well as to celebrate it, a press briefing and cocktail event was held on Wednesday (Sept. 23) at the Carambola Beach Club.
The event was intimate in nature, with friends and acquaintances enjoying candid banter while sipping on Bollinger Champagne, the beverage of the evening.
Throughout the evening, while guests were enjoying the Bollinger taste and the buffet, the theme song for each of the Bond movies were being played. This was a good conversation starter and led to discussions of which song was the favourite.
Bollinger Champagne, which is sold locally, exclusively by Orpus Fine Wines and Spirits Ltd, dances across the taste buds like only the pinot noir and chardonnay blend could, awakening and preparing them to receive more of the mellow champagne.
Director of Orpus Fine Wines and Spirits Ltd. Daislyn Sharpe, told the media that the partnership between the James Bond brand and the Bollinger brand is a true representation of elegance which transcends time.
“Without a doubt, it is most definitely certain that the brands Bollinger and James Bond are at the top of their class and are perfectly harmonious in representing class, sophistication and timeless elegance.”
With 25 James Bond movies released between 1962 and 2012, and 17 since the birth of the James Bond/Bollinger partnership, the 26th movie, ‘Spectre’, will hit the big screen in November 2015.
