The name is Philipsen - Mr Philipsen!
I am a HUGE champagne lover. The brand I would most like to try, is Bollinger. However, they are a bit out of my price range, or so I thought. I saw an ad on Facebook, marking the release of No Time To Die, the latest Bond film. It's a 007 branded Limited Edition Bollinger, that is coming in a VERY cool case. Here is how 007.com describes it:"In celebration of over 40 years of partnership as the Official Champagne of 007 and the upcoming film No Time To Die, Champagne Bollinger has produced a limited edition gift box that brings together three icons: Bollinger’s signature Special Cuvée, the Aston Martin DB5 and James Bond.
The limited edition gift box features the silhouette of James Bond alongside his Aston Martin DB5. The colourway of the gift box echoes the silver birch finish of the DB5. The Bollinger lettering and logos are depicted in gold and the iconic Special Cuvée bottle has been adapted to feature a black and gold neck collar with a 007 blazon.
Champagne Bollinger worked with celebrated photographer Greg Williams, for the soon to be released Special Cuvée 007 Limited Edition campaign, featuring his signature cinematic style that also appears in the No Time To Die campaign."
And here it is in all its glory:
It was right then and there, that I decided, to get one. I feared it would be VERY expensive, since.. Well, it's a Bollinger, after all. However, I was pleased when this 007 Limited Edition came in at $62, with shipping. I don't usually pay that much for champagne, but I made an exception, since Bollinger is the brand I have always wanted to buy. The one I REALLY want to try, is the 1955 Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut. However, that bottle is VERY expensive, coming in at around $1200 on average. So I will enjoy this relatively cheap Bollinger. Or will I? I am not sure that I want to open it, since it IS a limited edition champagne. It would be a shame if I opened it up. I do have that champagne I got for my birthday. Maybe I will open that, once I get my own place. Celebrate in class and style, you know.
The Bollinger is on its way to me as I type this. I have a tracking number that I look at regularly. If all goes well, I should have it tomorrow or Tuesday.
It's gonna be SO good to get it. I will probably feel like a secret agent. Maybe I should bring a disguise or something.

Good luck with your mission, Double Oh! Four Point Six Three.
Nice echos of Art Deco on the box.
Why do you think he has to conduct his relationships in the way you see fit to treat him with some respect?
Philipsen knows that i joke with him all the time.
He is not bothered by it.
As i mentioned before, he is one of a few gentleman on here.
He does not kiss and tell.
My mistake.
I think he has a good heart, too.
"Shaken, not stirred" ..?
Whenever you do drink it, enjoy !
Have to disagree with rizlared.
The day you'll get served a good one you will know immediately.
No if's no but's..
Had the good fortune once to indulge on the one below one xms time dinner.
No idea how many bottles each we polished off that day
(and no hangovers the next day)
There was a pink one, a rose, we started with that.
That was very nice. yum
A flavour that is stuck in my memory ever since, loved it.
Googling the picture some prices did show up.
Holy flying cows... we drank it like lemonade, at £200/l

Nice, tasty, but decadent
