Sir Winston Churchill Champagne T-Shirt

Champagne Pol Roger estimates that Churchill drank 42,000 bottles of Pol Roger in his lifetime.

Remember gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for, it’s Champagne! Winston Churchill

This total equates to roughly 2 bottles / pints (a measure formerly used for Champagne bottles destined for the UK) a day from 1908 – which was the date of the first invoice from Pol Roger to Churchill – until his death in 1965.

Pol Roger say that Churchill only drank vintage Champagne, with his favourite harvest-dated Pol Roger release being the 1928, and, “when he drank Pol Roger out of that, he moved to 1935, then 1945 and, finally, the 1947.”
