Bollinger Bolshevik
The term “champagne socialist” is sometimes replaced with “Bollinger Bolshevik” or “Bolly Bolshevik.”
Wikipedia: Champagne socialist
Champagne socialist is a political term commonly used in the United Kingdom. It is a popular epithet that implies a degree of hypocrisy, and it is closely related to the concept of the liberal elite. The phrase is used to describe self-identified anarchists, communists, and socialists whose luxurious lifestyles, metonymically including consumption of champagne, are ostensibly in conflict with their political beliefs.
Wikipedia: Bollinger
Bollinger (French pronunciation: [bɔlɛ̃ʒe]) is a French Champagne house, a producer of luxury sparkling wines from the Champagne region. They produce several labels of Champagne under the Bollinger name, including the vintage Vieilles Vignes Françaises, Grande Année and R.D. as well as the non-vintage Special Cuvée. Founded in 1829 in Aÿ by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin and Jacques Bollinger, the house continues to be run by members of the Bollinger family. In Britain, Bollinger Champagnes are affectionately known as “Bolly”.

Trying not to vomit as I read Antonia Fraser’s account of ife with Harold Pinter - sub-literate nonsense about Bollinger Bolsheviks.

Will Bollinger Bolsheviks beat the crap out of Champagne Socialists in 2011? Discuss.

I have to say this Dominique Strauss-Kahn case is fascinating, and not just because he’s my neighbor and a Bolly Bolshevik.
