Pol Roger
Pol Roger.
 Pol Roger Champagne.
What and Where: The rumour that Pol Roger is Prince William's favourite champagne has done nothing to dent its serious, rock-solid image. Its drinkers' hall of fame is presided over by Winston Churchill, who has a prestige cuvée named after him, and George W Bush is said to be doing his bit for the limited stock of it.
What does the non-vintage taste like? Poised, polished, firm with floral and creamy flavours, but nothing too feminine.
Who drinks it? Prime Ministers, Presidents, Princes, wine producers and connoisseurs.
Where is it seen? Grace-and-favour residences and Oxbridge colleges. It is also the champagne of choice for the armed forces.

I thought Dubya gave up alcohol long before he entered the White House. As I remember his former alcoholism which led to a drink driving conviction was frowned upon by the religious right in the election of 2000.

Here is a Washington Post article on his giving up booze.
