Bollinger and Bond is one of the most enduring marketing partnerships in motion picture history. Champagne Bollinger is featured in almost every Bond movie since Live And Let Die.

The literary James Bond first encounters Bollinger in the book Diamonds Are Forever, when Tiffany Case sends a quarter-bottle to his cabin on the Queen Elizabeth.

List of Bollinger champagnes used in the movies:

Live and Let Die: James Bond (Roger Moore) orders Bollinger Champagne, slightly chilled, in his San Moniquan Hotel room. The next day, Bond and Rosie Carver share a bottle of Dom Pérignon during their picnic, just before she gets killed.
Moonraker: A bottle of champagne can be seen in a cooler with Bollinger written on it, in the Apollo Airways airplane that crashes in the pre-title sequence. In Holly Goodhead's room in Hotel Danieli in Venice, another bottle of champagne in a Bolinger cooler can be seen. Bond says "Bollinger! If it's '69 you were expecting me!". In the last sequence of the film, Jaws and his girlfriend Dolly drink Bollinger Tradition RD (possibly a 1973 vintage) in the exploding space station.
Octopussy: Octopussy pours herself a glass of Bollinger Tradition RD (vintage unknown) when she meets Bond in her room (Bond has a vodka made from Martini vermouth and Smirnoff vodka, shaken). Bond later fills up her glass once more from the same bottle. Even later, Octopussy smashes a (the same?) bottle on an intruder. Two more Bollinger bottles and some full decanters can be seen in her room on a small table. In the train in Germany, Octopussy, General Orlov and Kamal Khan drink champagne from a bottle that looks like the same Bollinger Tradition RD.
A View to a Kill: Bollinger '75. Plenty of Bollinger Champagne flows at the party at Zorin's horse castle, Château de Chantilly. Bond brings a bottle and two glasses to Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts).

Licence to Kill: Bollinger RD '79. Bond orders Bollinger RD when he arrives with Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell) in his suite in the Hotel El Presidente in Isthmus City. Three Bollinger bottles can be seen during the wedding of Felix Leiter, and a bottle of Bollinger in a cooler can be seen when Pam Bouvier drinks Bond's martini at the casino.
Goldeneye: Bollinger La Grande Année 1988 -  the bottle can be seen in the built-in cooler in Bond's Aston Martin DB5.
Tomorrow Never Dies: Bollinger La Grande Année 1989
The World Is Not Enough: Bollinger La Grande Année 1990. Bond and Elektra share a bottle of Bollinger in Elektra's palace room.
Die Another Day: La Grande Année 1995 and Bond asks Mr Chang in The Rubyeon Royale Hotel for Bollinger '61.
Casino Royale: Bollinger La Grande Année 1990
Quantum of Solace: Bollinger - Bond and Agent Fields drink Bollinger in their room at the Andean Grand Hotel (we only see the cork of a Bollinger bottle next to the Eco Park Charity Fundraiser invitation). At the Fundraiser several Bollinger bottles can be spotted as well. Bond and Fields drink from glasses that have a Bollinger logo.

The relationship began when the Broccoli-Wilson family, producers of the Bond films, sought a wine to match Bond's impeccable taste and refined personality. Not surprisingly, they chose Champagne Bollinger, long acknowledged as one of the world's finest Champagnes. A mutual friendship developed between the Broccoli-Wilson family and the Bollinger family, and Champagne Bollinger has remained a Bond favorite even as the torch has been passed from Roger Moore to Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and now Daniel Craig.

Bollinger 002 for 007
In 2012, the year that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Bond in films, Bollinger released the special Bollinger 002 for 007 gift set: a Bond inspired and branded box which contains a bottle of Champagne Bollinger 2002. Read more about this limited edition here, or buy it while it's still available at The Whisky Exchange (£125, they can ship to most countries).

Bollinger Grande Année 2002 is available at Harrods.com for £84,95

Champagne Bollinger has been the champagne of choice for James Bond in many films. To celebrate the release of Quantum of Solace, Bollinger released a limited edition champagne cooler in the shape of a bullet.

The concept is that of the bullet of a gun (in the spirit of the Walther PPK), lying on a carbon covered base. This bullet, which has an impressive size (about 65cm) contains a magnum of Bollinger 1999 dressed in black and silver. Once the magnum is released from its cradle, the inside of the bullet converts into a set of compartments in which a modern gentlemen can store his personal accessories. The bullet closes with a leather garnished key. Only 207 copies of this collector’s item, each individually numbered, will be produced. One of them will be auctioned to raise money for an international charity.

Packaged in a wooden box, the whole set weighs over 50 pounds and has a recommended retail price of €4000 (about $5400).

A small keyring and cufflinks in the shape of a bullet and the word Bollinger engraved were also available at the time.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of 007’s appearance on screen and the Bollinger / James Bond partnership, Champagne Bollinger launched a limited edition special presentation box. The box includes a bottle of Bollinger La Grande Année 2002. This is a limited box, currenly not available anymore and hard to find.

The presentation box, the design inspired by the shape of a Walther PPK silencer, opens by aligning the three figures 007 and by clicking on the gun logo button, revealing a bottle of Bollinger La Grande Année 2002, the most exceptional vintage in the last decade, according to Mathieu Kauffmann, Cellar Master at Champagne Bollinger.

The bottle, adorned in shiny black and hot stamped silver, is a collector’s item in itself, an elegant celebration of the 50th anniversary of James Bond on screen. The guilloche pattern on the label and the cap is repeated on the box, a veiled reference to the grip of the pistol.

The Bollinger 002 for 007 presentation box used to be for sale at TheWhiskyExchange for £150 (currently sold out), and in specialist shops and wine merchants for £125 - £150 ($200 - $240 or €155 - €190).

If you happen to be one of the 50 million yearly visitors of Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, you might encounter the Bollinger 007 commercial event that is set up in the airport this November and December. Visitors have a chance to win a Bollinger R.D. 1969 or a 002 for 007 Limited Edition box.

Bollinger and Bond have taken up residence in the airport’s five stores.

The decor has been entirely redesigned for the event and a variety of activities have been organised. An Aston Martin Vantage V8S (provided by dutch Aston Martin dealership Kroymans) can be admired, as can Bollinger‘s exclusive wine cases, designed to showcase the brand’s champagnes.

To round off this exceptional event, a magnum of the celebrated Bollinger R.D. 1969 (the very first vintage enjoyed by Bond in Moonraker, in 1979!) has been put on sale. A unique prize of a limited edition Bollinger 002 for 007 gift box has also been carefully locked away in a safe. Visitors at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport have until the end of December to try to crack the secret code, and to discover the event’s remarkable atmosphere.

In the movie The Living Daylights (1987), M asks James Bond (Timothy Dalton) to pick up a hamper at Harrods, as a gift for General Georgi Koskov (Jeroen Krabbé). Bond brings the basket to Bladen's Safe House.

The hamper contains a bottle of champagne, foie-gras and caviar, which General Koskov immediately starts eating ("Caviar, that's peasant food for us, but with Champagne it's ok"). Because the brand of champagne that M suggested was "questionable" according to Bond, he took the liberty to fill the hamper with a bottle of Bollinger R.D. champagne (see image on the left of the type of bottle and label that is seen in the film, although in the film we can't see which year it exactly is).

A hamper is a primarily British term for a wicker basket, usually large, that is used for the transport of items, often food. Harrods sells ready-made food hampers and provides customers the service of compiling a custom hamper for them, which may involve company staff (in the case of The Living Daylights, Bond himself) going shopping for requested specific items on behalf of individual customers. Food hampers are a popular gift item in the UK and Ireland.

Harrods offers a large selection of hampers (in the stores as well as on the Harrods website) ranging in price from £25 ('A Christmas Classic') to £20,000 ('The Decandence'), and you can also create a custom hamper.

The basket seen in The Living Daylights is a wicker basket, similar to a picnic hamper with a lid.

To celebrate the release of the new James Bond film, Champagne Bollinger is launching the Bollinger SPECTRE Limited Edition bottle and a very limited SPECTRE Crystal Set with Bollinger R.D. 1988 Magnum. It was also announced that in the movie SPECTRE we will see the exclusive prestige cuvée Bollinger R.D. 2002.

Bollinger SPECTRE Limited Edition Bottle
The limited edition contains a unique Bollinger cuvée from the 2009 vintage, released exclusively to celebrate the continuing partnership between Champagne Bollinger and James Bond. This bottle is now available at  31 Dover (UK), The Finest Bubble (UK), Harrods, The Whisky Exchange (worldwide shipping), or TheDrinkShop (worldwide shipping).

Bollinger SPECTRE 007 Limited Edition

The bottle will be encased in a sleek Carré Basset designed black cool-box with embossed silver Bollinger and 007 branding. The exterior is designed to mimic the texture of the gun grip on 007’s Walther PPK, whilst the insulated interior will keep the bottle chilled for up to two hours once removed from the fridge.

Bollinger SPECTRE 007 Limited Edition

The release of the SPECTRE Limited Edition marks the continuation of a long lasting partnership between EON Productions, the producers of the Bond franchise, and the House of Bollinger.

The Champagne Bollinger partnership with Bond is, rather uniquely, based on a gentlemen’s agreement from the early 1970s. At the time, Champagne Bollinger was being run by Madame Bollinger’s nephews Claude d’Hautefeuille and Christian Bizot. They sought to continue their late aunt’s good work in building the brand of Bollinger, whilst remaining true to its heritage and tradition. When film producer Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli was seeking a Champagne House to match James Bond’s on-screen impeccable taste and panache, he chose Bollinger, but the House was still traditionally quite reserved at heart. Adamant that Bollinger was right for his suave secret agent, Cubby took his time and made friends with Christian Bizot, bonding over their shared love of wine. Since that encounter, Bollinger has featured in 13 Bond films to date and has been the exclusive Champagne partner since Moonraker in 1979. James Bond’s first encounter with Bollinger, however, was actually a literary one; Tiffany Case sends Bond a bottle to his cabin on the Queen Elizabeth in the novel of Diamonds Are Forever. The first appearance in a film was when then Bond Roger Moore ordered Bollinger from room service in Live and Let Die. From that moment on, Bollinger has been Bond’s Champagne of Choice in every big screen outing.

SPECTRE will be the 14th Bond film to feature Bollinger as James Bond's Champagne of choice, with the discerning secret agent this time deciding to drink the exclusive prestige cuvée Bollinger R.D. 2002.

The limited edition Bollinger SPECTRE is available at major wine merchants in the retail price of €160 / £125. Get it online at 31 Dover (UK), The Whisky Exchange (worldwide shipping) or TheDrinkShop (worldwide shipping).

Bollinger SPECTRE Limited Edition Crystal Cooler
In addition to the bottle, Bollinger has created a limited edition SPECTRE crystal champagne cooler, big enough to fit a Bollinger Magnum bottle. A true collector's item, this unique cooler is limited worldwide to only 307 pieces, available at select retailers, or online for £4,500 (approx. $6,900 or €6,000) at The Whisky Exchange and The Finest Bubble.

It is the designer Eric Berthès who conceived and designed the Bollinger Crystal Set. He wanted it as a setting for a true classic, Bollinger R.D. 1988 (the same vintage Bollinger that Bond has stored in his Aston Martin DB5 in GoldenEye). A rare champagne that unmatched long aging on its lees for an aromatic complexity and exceptional length in the mouth.

The even larger 300cl Jerobaom bottle comes in a large black wooden box with Bollinger logo.

In order to appreciate all of its subtleties, it is recommended to serve Bollinger SPECTRE Limited Edition between 8 and 10°C (or 46 and 50°F) to allow the aromas and flavours to fully develop.

The release of the limited edition marks a continuation of a long lasting partnership between EON Productions, the producers of the Bond franchise and the House of Bollinger. Bollinger has featured in 14 Bond films. It has been the exclusive champagne partner since Moonraker in 1979.

Champagne Bollinger is celebrating its 40th year in partnership with James Bond with the launch of two special editions: the Moonraker 2007 magnum in a unique Eric Berthes-designed gift box and a No Time To Die-inspired Millésimé 2011.

In 1979, Champagne Bollinger appeared on screen with the release of Moonraker, becoming the Official Champagne for the famous British secret agent. The partnership has evolved over the years and is now a recognisable part of the legacy of both brands.

Etienne Bizot, Société Jacques Bollinger CEO: "It brings me an immense amount of pride to be celebrating 40 years of partnership between Bollinger and James Bond, it is a testament to the friendship started in 1979, between my father Christian Bizot and James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli. A friendship based on our shared values such as excellence and elegance."

Bollinger Tribute to Moonraker Luxury Limited Edition

The movie Moonraker, released forty years ago, featured James Bond whose mission took him on an outer space adventure. It was the movie in which the Bond and Bollinger partnership began.

In the film, a bottle of Bollnger champagne can be seen in a cooler with Bollinger written on it, in the Apollo Airways airplane that crashes in the pre-title sequence. In Holly Goodhead's room in Hotel Danieli in Venice, another bottle of champagne in a Bollinger cooler can be seen. Bond says "Bollinger! If it's '69 you were expecting me!". In the last sequence of the film, Jaws and his girlfriend Dolly drink Bollinger Tradition R.D. (possibly a 1973 vintage) in the exploding space station (read more about Bollinger in other James Bond films)

Bollinger 007 Limited Edition Millésimé 2011

To mark the release of the upcoming movie No Time To Die, the 25th instalment of the James Bond series, the House has created a limited edition wine dedicated to 007, with a 2011 vintage inspired by the world of Bond.

The bottle and case are adorned with movie titles from the previous 24 films

The jet-black 75cl bottle is adorned with the number "25", formed from the titles of the previous films, which are similarly etched on the glass of the wooden box.

The 2011 vintage, an atypical year, inspired Cellar Master to produce a unique champagne, created entirely from Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, where the House was first established in 1829. This is the first time that both the vintage and village have been used exclusively by Bollinger to make a dedicated wine. The excellent 2011 harvest in Aÿ, produced complex, powerful and harmonious Pinot Noirs, fully expressed in this characterful wine.

The Bollinger 007 Limited Edition Millésimé 2011 is available for pre-sale starting James Bond Day on the 5th of October 2019 and will be delivered at the end of October (RRP £150, for example at The Finest Bubble in London).

About the champagne
The 2011 vintage, an atypical year, inspired Cellar Master to produce a unique champagne, created entirely from Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, where the House was first established in 1829. This is the first time that both the vintage and village have been used exclusively by Bollinger to make a dedicated wine. The excellent 2011 harvest in Aÿ, produced complex, powerful and harmonious Pinot Noirs, fully expressed in this characterful wine.

Weather: The 2011 vintage was a continental, sunny year with a real winter that was very cold and dry followed by a glorious sun-filled summer and almost no rain in August and September. The harvest was incomparable in terms of quality and produced consistent, fresh and crunchy grapes.

Technical Information:
Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir from Aÿ
Disgorged: Feb 2019
Dosage: 8g/l

Tasting Note: To the eye this has a deep golden colour, demonstrating the wine's maturity. The vintage boasts a refined complexity on the nose, with hints of hazelnut, vanilla and citrus fruits. On the palate, the maturity of this Champagne shines through yet remains fresh and lively, with subtle flavours of plum and honey adding real character.
