"Pleasure without champagne is purely artificial."

By Oscar Wilde - Playwright (1854-1900)
He also wrote:
"Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking champagne."

I was walking past these two bottles today which were outside a French restaurant. Made me thirsty! But my wallet resisted the temptation.

I’m not sure if the smaller one is a magnum and the larger a jeroboam. (I should have checked. I know.)

BTW. They bottles were only for show!!

I’ll take the smaller one, I’m not proud!

Great shot a very famous brand, but in my opinion not worth the cost. There are so many fabulous champagnes and bubbles on the market. I love the quote :-)

Bit dry for me, but what a lovely sight 🥂

[Mags]

A delightful shot!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Very nice still life

@ludwigsdiana
I’m with you. There are lots and lots of great bubbles on the market. We just can’t call them champagne!!😀😀😀

[Oli Lindenskov]

Great shot 🍾🥂😊

[Bill Davidson]

Great quotation….. and I think I see your reflection!!

[Susan Wakely]

Cheers.

It’s a beautiful champagne… my last glass was at new year.
The thing is: Life is indeed a special occasion…

[Maxine Lathbury]

Love it

[Kathy]

I always think of champagne for a celebration. AS they say, I have a champagne taste on a beer budget. Quite frankly I like it best mixed with OJ.

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot

[Olwynne]

A bottle each? That's a celebration!

[Carole Sandford]

They make for a nice shot!

[Dave]

Nicely done!

[haskar]

Unfortunately, I have no imagination!

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I’ll have a glass of wine for you.

[John Falconer]

@randystreat
Any way is a good way!!

[Shutterbug]

For some reason, I prefer wine…without bubbles. Nice capture of the impressive looking bottles.

[Paula Fontanini]

Ha! What a great title but in a pinch a beer will do! :)

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Diane]

Great find! Love your quotes.

[Denise Wood]

You can't beat a good champagne :)

[Issi Bannerman]

I am partial to a wee glass of champers. To say otherwise would be a lie! I don't have it so often now, since we moved back to Scotland. It was a standard 'apéro' when we lived in France.

[Jeremy Cross]

One of my favourite champagnes!

[Dione Giorgio]

Great capture of them. Veuve Clicquot is one of the best champagne producers in France. Hip, hip, hurrah.

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I’ll drink champagne if it’s free! It’s great but while I have champagne taste I only have beer income.
