The champagne label Veuve Clicquot, owned by luxury behemoth LVMH, has just released their libation in a new and eco-friendly box. The “Design Box” is just another part of Veuve’s continued drive to help keep the environment safe and clean for future generations.
Already, Veuve has been following an environment charter that was set up to reduce packaging material use and to limit the waste produced at their factory.

As a ISO 14001 certified company, or an organization that follows a series of international standards relating to environmental management, Veuve Clicqout is a shining example of how a company can be held accountable to itself and mother Earth. Now that is a reason to raise a glass of Veuve to!

The newest car to be added to the Bentley lineup of elegant machines will be unveiled and named at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance. Held on August 16th of this year at the famous Monterey, California golf course, the new Bentley will undoubtedly be the star of the show.
All we know so far about the new grand Bentley is that it is, in the words of Bentley, a car that “captures the 1920s ‘grand touring’ spirit of the Bentley Boys, delivering the effortless driving, exclusivity and adventure desired by the real motoring enthusiast. A unique fusion of elegant design, hand craftsmanship and technological innovation, the new model embodies the potent yet luxuriously refined driving experience that is ‘pure Bentley’.”

Befitting the new car’s unveiling is that Bentley is currently celebrating their 90th year of solid business and car manufacturing. A milestone such as this is the perfect time to unveil a car that epitomizes the classic lines and sumptuousness that makes owning a Bentley a true indulgence of luxury.
