Veuve Clicquot tablets sparkle on the internets

How would it sound if you could carry tablets of Veuve Clicquot in your handbag and drop then in water to make a glass of the famous bubbly? To those who drive popular brand to sales of over a half a million cases a year in the US, that sounds like their kind of “plop, plop, fizz, fizz.”

Photos of Veuve Clicquot tablets have surfaced on the internets today and some have latched on to the story as real. But it is actually a hoax, put out by a “Russian communication agency.” So there you have it. Apparently the muckety mucks at LVMH are none-too-happy about this.

  4. This wine would be perfect for US Airway’s First Class Wine Program. It’s not like they have a sparkling wine.


  5. Completely possible look at “PALCOHOL” image carring a high end product anywhere!


  6. It is clever marketing. I would buy some Veuve Clicquot tablets if they existed. I doubt they would come close to the real thing though.
