Description
New Year’s Eve in Reims, and the whole street seemed to be holding its breath. At midnight a hundred corks flew at once, and Juliette, who had promised herself she would not cry, cried anyway when Thomas went down on one knee beside the fountain. The bottle they opened that night stayed on their windowsill for years, its foil cap still twisted into a ring.
This bubbly little box is for nights like that one. The bottle stands tall in its silver bucket, ready for a toast that never goes flat. Give it to an engaged couple, a friend landing a promotion, or the hostess who always has a bottle on ice. On a bar cart or a bedside table, it adds instant sparkle. Couples sometimes keep it on the nightstand long after the wedding, filling it with the cage from the cork they opened at the reception. It is a small, shining reminder that some evenings deserve to be remembered in detail.
