Welcome to the EYES ONLY newsletter.

Bollinger has just revealed a new 007 Special Cuvée Limited Edition. So far it’s an underwhelming release, with no specific movie references and uninspired packaging - we have seen much more interesting packaging from the brand. The reason for the release is the connection between Bond and Bollinger for ‘more than 45 years’ (46 to be exact…) and the 40-Year Anniversary of A View To A Kill is mentioned in which the brand is seen, but no references are made to the film on the packaging as far as we can see. Also, no mention is made of GoldenEye, which celebrates 30 years which would be a golden opportunity to make the connection between Aston Martin and Bond and Bollinger: the bottle of Bollinger in that film is located in the DB5, plus Aston Martin and Bollinger do have a collaboration going on anyway.

But in these dire Bond-news times, we’ll take any release, and it’s not to say that I wouldn’t mind having one of these bottles in the collection!

Speaking of GoldenEye, this film will be released in very select cinemas in 4K.

Also check out a very cool 1997 laptop on eBay, not only used as a prop in Tomorrow Never Dies, but also contains graphics for the film and it was used by the writer for TND and TWINE.

And make sure to get the latest London Bond Map by Pete Brooker, which has all the location details of the TWINE Q-Boat river chase! On sale from £6.95 for £5.95

Only a few more days until Global James Bond Day (October 5th), perhaps we’ll get some more news then.

Enjoy!
