Thirst quenching


Jean François de Troy, The Oyster Lunch, 1735, Musée Condé, Chantilly
Apparently the first painting in which champagne is depicted, (in the wine cooler in the foreground).

As an old tart once said: I only drink champagne 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 am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty.
