“There is nothing more typically British than sitting at Wimbledon and watching a fabulous game of tennis whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly and those bubbles being Champagne Lanson! Many Champagne house have made a global impression by aligning themselves next to famous events / films / locations… How well have Bollinger done with James Bond for example!” Christopher Walkey – Founder of GlassofBubbly.com
