A Question for Wine Connoisseur's-DAF

In a cut scene in DAF, now available on the UE DVD, Bond takes Plenty out to dinner. Showing off his snobishness, he rejects a bottle of wine (or champagne?) offered to him by the wine steward. We get a clear shot of the bottle. My question is, can anyone identify what type of wine he is being offered based on looking at the bottle?
The clip in question: (the bottle comes in at the :17 mark)

    I had a case of these in my wine cellar but having taken one sip I decided they weren't up to scratch and poured them all down the sink. I prefer a blue nun 1996 vintage.

    Thanks. Maybe that's why Bond gives a disgusted look at it and refuses it!

    I'm fairly certain that is NOT a Roederer Cristal. The Neck of the bottle is different. I do work as a sommelier and head up one of the biggest restaurant wine programs in Oregon. I cannot make out what the label is, but I'm pretty sure what it is not.

    Nice article forgotmuusername

    A great article? I presume youre not on the judging panel for Pulitzer.

    The guy seems to think the books and films are utterly interchangeable and basically just lists everything Bond drinks without commenting on the merits or are they good choices or not from a connoisseurs perspective.

    And this - 'Fleming was obviously convinced of the virtues of DP since next in The Spy Who Loved Me the villain, Stromberg, is somewhat redeemed simply because of his penchant for this champagne - "any man who drinks Dom Perignon ’52 can’t be all bad" according to Bond!' - is such inept research its not even worth commenting on.

    Is this a blog or does the guy claim to be a journalist because to quote the great Malcolm Tucker I wouldnt give him a job 'at the Sunday Sport photoshopping the tits of Hollyoaks extras.'

    So if its not a Roederer Cristal, then the question still stands, asked by the gentleman concerned.
