This theme of a sexy girl riding a bottle has been used in a number of beverage illustrations since the late 1800's. Search "Girl Riding Bottle" and you'll see many more. This Moet poster is from 1975, but 7Up issued one in the 50's or 60's plus a 7Up UnCola billboard version in 1970 (just arrived today!):
The company headquarters of the prominent champagne house Moët & Chandon (built with cellars) in the Avenue de Champagne, Épernay, Grand Est (Champagne), France
Some background information:
Moët & Chandon, also known simply as Moët, is a prominent French champagne house and as such one of the world's largest champagne producers. It is also the co-owner of the luxury goods company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. Moët et Chandon was established in 1743 by Claude Moët, and today owns 1,190 hectares (2,900 acres) of vineyards. It produces approximately 28 million bottles of champagne per year.
Moët has two different brands of champagne: "Moët & Chandon" and "Dom Perignon". The headquarters, production facilities and cellars of the company are all situated in the town of Épernay in the west of the French department of Marne. In 1959, Chandon founded an outpost winery in Argentina. In 1973, two more outpost wineries were established in Brasil and in the Napa Valley. The latter was the first French-owned sparkling wine venture in the United States. In 1986, another outpost was started in Australia, and in 2013 and 2014, outpost wineries were also established in China and India.
In 1743, Épernay wine trader Claude Moët founded the winery as Moët et Cie (in English: "Moët & Co."). He began shipping his wine from the Champagne region to Paris, where the reign of King Louis XV coincided with an increased demand for sparkling wine. Soon after its foundation, and after son Claude-Louis had joined Moët et Cie, the winery's clientele already included many nobles and aristocrats. After Claude-Louis Moët’s son Jean-Remy had taken the company’s lead in 1792, the winery was visited regularly by Napoleon Bonaparte, whom he had met in Paris several years before, when Napoleon was still a lieutenant-colonel. Napoleon became Jean-Remy’s close friend, whom he provided with lots of champagne. Recorded are Napoleon’s words: "Champagne! After a victory you deserve it. And after a defeat you need it."
In 1833, the company was renamed Moët & Chandon after Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, Remy Moët's son-in-law, had joined the company as a partner of Jean-Remy Moët. Following the introduction of the concept of a vintage champagne in 1840, Moët marketed its first vintage in 1842. The company’s best-selling champagne, Brut Imperial, was introduced in the 1860s. In 1927, Moët & Chandon acquired the brand Dom Perignon from Champagne Mercier.
The brand is named after Dom Pierre Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who was an important quality pioneer for Champagne wine but who, contrary to popular myths, did not discover the champagne method for making sparkling wines. Dom Pérignon was the first prestige cuvée, an idea proposed by Englishman Laurence Venn. The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936. Vintage means that it is only made in the best years, and all grapes used to make the vintage are harvested in the same year. Many champagnes, by contrast, are non-vintage, meaning that they are made from grapes harvested in various years.
In 1971, Moët & Chandon merged with Hennessy Cognac. In 1987, there was another merger, but this time with the luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. Following the merger, the new umbrella company LVMH (Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy) was founded, which is still the largest luxury group in the world. In 2006, Moët et Chandon Brut Impérial issued an extremely limited bottling of its champagne named "Be Fabulous", a special release of its original bottle with decorative Swarovski crystals, marking the elegance of Moët et Chandon. Finally, it is also worth mentioning that Moët & Chandon was holding the royal warrant as supplier of champagne to Queen Elizabeth II.
The town of Épernay is located in the French Grand Est region, about 130 km (81 miles) north-east of Paris on the mainline railway to Strasbourg. It has more than 22,300 residents. The town sits on the left bank of the Marne at the extremity of the Cubry valley which crosses it. Épernay belonged to the archbishops of Reims from the 5th until the 10th century, when it came into the possession of the counts of Champagne. It was badly damaged during the Hundred Years' War, and was burned by King Francis I in 1544. In 1592, it resisted Henry of Navarre and his troops. In 1642 it was, along with Château-Thierry, named as a duchy and assigned to the Duke of Bouillon.
Épernay is best known as the principal "entrepôt" for champagne wines, which are bottled and kept in large cellars built into the chalk rock on which the town is built. The major grape varieties used in champagne are the pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay. But the production of the equipment and raw materials used in the champagne industry is also a major source of local employment.
Many larger and smaller champagne houses have their headquarters in Épernay. That’s why the town is often named "the capital of champagne". A lot of them reside in noble mansions or villas alongside Epernay’s Avenue de Champagne, which is hence often called "the most valueable street of the world". The cellars of these champagne houses are right beneath the street and the champagne houses by its side. Merely the cellar tunnels of Moët & Chandon have a total length of 110 km (68 miles). Hence, one can imagine that the chalky soil, on which Épernay is built, is hollowed like Emmentaler cheese. Apart from Moët & Chandon with its second brand Dom Perignon, champagne houses in Épernay include Mercier, De Castellane, Boizel, Charles Mignon, Château Comtesse Lafond, A. Bergère, Pol Roger, Collard-Picard, Janisson-Baradon, Esterlin and Perrier-Jouet, to name just a few.
In 2015, the whole Champagne area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was named "Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars" and was admitted into the World Heritage List for being the site, where the method of producing sparkling wines was developed.

It's official - we've bought our own home. Goodbye Amsterdam, hello Rotterdam! You can expect to see lots of Rotterdam pictures in my stream soon...but first we need to do a bit of decorating.

These bottles are hand stacked and rest "sur lattes" (literally on wooden sticks) to get bottle age.
Sur Lattes = Reference to wines, means storage ‘on their side’ so that the cork is kept moist and airtight.

Moët et Chandon or Moët, is a French winery and co-owner of the luxury goods company Moët-Hennessy • Louis Vuitton. Moët et Chandon is one of the world's largest champagne producers and a prominent champagne house. The company holds a Royal Warrant to supply champagne to Queen Elizabeth II. Moët et Chandon was established in 1743 by Claude Moët, and today owns more than 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of vineyards, and annually produces approximately 26,000,000 bottles of champagne.
History, Foundation
Moët et Chandon began as Moët et Cie (Moët & Co.), established by Épernay wine trader Claude Moët in 1743, and began shipping his wine from Champagne to Paris. The reign of King Louis XV coincided with increased demand for sparkling wine. Soon after its foundation, and after son Claude-Louis joined Moët et Cie, the winery's clientele included nobles and aristocrats.
Moët began business with Madame de Pompadour in 1750. She continually supplied the Royal Court at Compiègne with Moët's champagne. Also in 1750, Moët began establishing business in Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe, and colonial British America. In 1792, on Claude Moët's death, grandson Jean-Rémy Moët assumed control of Moët et Cie,and expanded the business buying the vineyards of the Abbey of Hautvillers, where Benedictine monk Dom Perignon perfected double-fermentation for creating champagne.
Moreover, the Moët surname was prestigious before the winery's establishment; King Charles VII ennobled brothers Jean and Nicolas Moët (Claude's ancestors) in 1446

The Moet & Chandon cellar features 28 kilometers of historic tunnels. At the end of your tour enjoy a champagne taste (or tastes depending on the tour you choose) with one of Moet's knowledgeable sommeliers.
A magnum of Moët & Chandon I have had stashed for some time. I deliberately shot this with my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II wide open to drastically reduce the DOF and place the emphasis on the title on the label, whilst creating a beautifully out-of-focus background.

Après sa restauration qui a permis d'y découvrir des peintures murales, la maison a été meublée en puisant dans le fonds du musée d'Histoire de Riga, de façon à reconstituer l'atmosphère d'une demeure bourgeoise des 17e et 18e s." site Michelin

Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion that survives to this day.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death it was inherited by his sister Ellen who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew Major James Archibald Morrison.
During the Second World War, the estate was requisitioned. It served several purposes including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training, and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952 Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about restoring the house sensitively to its former glory, with the addition of modern-day comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house, together with 400 acres of parkland, to the National Trust in 1978.

Opening a good bottle of Champagne usually means that you're celebrating something, no? A birthday party or wedding... An anniversary or winning a game...
Real Champagne comes from the region of that name, in France. Other sparkling wine made outside of the region cannot be called Champagne.
This is a bottle of Moët & Chandon.
This tired wee bee was in the kitchen window this morning and tired itself out not going through the open window. It took a sip of the sugar water solution my wife made up and carried on flying into the window, fall into the damn water a couple of times, hence the moist and matted appearance! It clearly has good taste though, as it decided to sun itself on the side of the Moet bottle we've kept as a sentimental touch.
