A French wine blog has the headline "La Reine Elisabeth II sort des nabuchodonosors pour baptiser le Britannia". Apparently the 4 Nebuchadnezzars* of the sparkling wine traditionally used to launch ships was English! From the Sussex winery the Wiston Estate the fizz was used to launch the new P&O cruise liner "Britannia". The blog makes no comment on the perfidious use of non-French "champagne".
