Glass of Bubbly Interview

Where’s the most memorable place you’ve ever enjoyed a Glass of Bubbly?
In the back of my Bentley, on the way back from Buckingham Palace after I received my OBE from Prince Charles.

Which is your favourite Champagne or sparkling wine?
Dom Pérignon, 1952 (The year of my birth, which I’m saying was a decent vintage).

For me it’s all of the options.
