Dom Pérignon Champagne
Dom Pérignon Champagne has appeared in several James Bond movies and one Ian Fleming novel.
The literary James Bond drinks Dom Pérignon in the novel Moonraker, when he has two bottles of the Dom Pérignon '46, suggested to Bond by the wine-waiter at Blades during the dinner with M.
Dom Pérignon champagnes used in the movies:
Dr. No: Dom Pérignon '55 (Dr No “That’s a Dom Pérignon ’55, it would be a pity to break it.” Bond answers he prefers the '53).
Goldfinger: Bond and Jill Masterson drink a bottle of Dom Pérignon '53 while Goldfinger loses a game of gin. When Bond wants to get another bottle from the refrigerator, he says "My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!"
Thunderball: Bond orders Beluga Caviar and Dom Pérignon '55 for him and Domino at Café Martinique, Nassau, after beating Emilio Largo at baccarat in the casino.
You Only Live Twice: Dom Pérignon '59. Bond: "Well, if you insist."
On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Bond orders a Dom Pérignon '57 in the Casino restaurant for Tracy and himself and has it brought to room 423 with caviar for two. In Blofeld's lair at Piz Gloria, Tracy and Blofeld drink Dom Pérignon and Tracy uses two bottles to fight off her attackers.
Live And Let Die: Bond and Rosie Carver share a bottle of Dom Pérignon during their picnic, just before she gets killed. A little earlier, Bond orders Bollinger Champagne, slightly chilled in his San Moniquan Hotel room.
Man with the Golden Gun: Bond and Andrea Anders (Maud Adams) first drink Dom Pérignon in the Peninsula Hotel. Later: Nick Nack offers Bond a bottle of Dom Pérignon '64 (Bond says he prefers the '62).
The Spy Who Loved Me: Bond has a bottle of Dom Pérignon (vintage unknown) in his train cabin and smashes it on Jaws' head. Later Bond mentions a Dom Pérignon '52 when he says about Stromberg, “Any man who drinks Dom Pérignon ’52 can’t be all bad.”
Dom Perignon is available online at for example The Finest Bubble in the UK or The Whiskey Exchange.
