I rarely bother to get into bed these days for anything less than a bottle of Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque and a pair of diamond earrings.
...
I haven't got Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque but I have a bottle of Canard-Duchéne - Le Champagne Officiel du Bicentenaire (the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution i.e. 1989).
But I drank some at the time as an exhibitor at a Bicentennial Exhibition in the UK. It was opened with a flourish of a genuine 18th Century Cavalry Sword - showy but wasteful.
I wasn't impressed with the champagne which is why my bottle remains unopened.
