Hideaway Report contributor Betsy Andrews has rounded up several of her top gift recommendations in a very selective roundup for subscribers, titled “19 Holiday Gifts for Foodies,” and selects Champagne Bollinger among her top picks. She explains to readers that “Bollinger has been sipped in 14 James Bond film,” and that the House has released a new limited edition to celebrate the long term partnership ahead of No Time To Die. Offering context that the Bollinger 007 Limited Edition, Vintage 2011 goes beyond nice packaging, the wine is “oak-vinified from estate Pinot Noir, hand-riddled and hand-disgorged, it offers a creamy bubbly and earthy, plummy notes with an herbaceous finish.”

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
