Icons such as Marilyn Monroe,
Vivien Leigh and Bridget Bardot are all famed for their fondness of the odd
tipple. Like red lipstick or a gorgeous pair of stilettos, a glass of bubbly in
the hand epitomises glamour - which is why it is often regarded as the perfect
accessory. In honour of Women’s Month this August, Avondale Wine Estate has
rounded up a collection of quotes from luscious ladies who love their wine.
Enjoy!
“A good margarita, a good red
wine - I like expensive alcohol” – Denise Richards
"Champagne
is the one thing that gives me zest when I feel tired" - Brigitte Bardot
“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 if I
am; Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty” - Madame Lilly Bollinger,
one of the grand dames of French champagne
"Champagne
makes you feel like it's Sunday and better days are just around the
corner" – Marlene Dietrich
“Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of
course, you happen to be a bottle of wine” – Joan Collins
“When I came back
from France for some retakes on ‘Gone With the Wind’ Larry (Lawrence Olivier)
and I brought six crates of wine with us” – Vivien Leigh
“Look I eat really well and I work out, but I also
indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not
taking away my glass of wine because I'd be devastated” – Jennifer Aniston
“I always love being
in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine” -
Naomi Watts
