Since the days of Dom Pérignon, Champagne has enticed many of the world's most glamorous people. From fashion icons to French emperors it seems no profession was immune to its sparkling charms (Napoleon also invented the art of Sabrage, for more info click here). So with New Year's Eve only a few days away, I wanted to share this collection of quotes from some of Champagne's most famous fans:1.) "I only drink Champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not." - Coco Chanel2.) "Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right." - Mark Twain3.) "Champagne is the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful after drinking it." - Madame de Pompadour4.) “Champagne! In victory one deserves it, in defeat one needs it.” - Napoleon Bonaparte5.) “Remember gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for, it’s Champagne!” – Winston Churchill6.) “Pleasure without Champagne is purely artificial.” – Oscar Wilde7.) “There comes a time in every woman’s life when the only thing that helps is a glass of Champagne.” - Bette Davis8.) “Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!” - Dom Pérignon9.) "Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends." - Tom Waits10.) “I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it—unless I’m thirsty.” - Lilly Bollinger11.) “Champagne…it gives you the impression that every day is Sunday.” – Marlene Dietrich12.) "Champagne is one of the elegant extras of life." - Charles Dickens13.) "Champagne is the one thing that gives me zest when I feel tired." - Brigitte Bardot14.)
