Quantum of Solace

Quantum of Solace Poster

Overview: In the 22nd James Bond film, 007 investigates the shadowy organization behind Vesper Lynd's death. Bond has a positively Flemingesque moment when he quaffs six martinis in a sitting.

What does Bond drink?

  • After he brings Mr. White in to MI6, Bond has drinks of whisky from a decanter (either bourbon or scotch).
  • When he visits Mathis at his villa, Mathis and Bond each have a glass of white wine.
  • On the flight to Bolivia, we see Bond drinking a Vesper (the bartender goes over the recipe with Mathis). We learn 007 has had six of them.
  • Bond and Strawberry Fields share a bottle of Bollinger (the brand is visible on a cork seen on the table).
  • At Greene's party, Bond has at least one glass of champagne (possibly two).
  • When Bond meets Leiter in the Bolivian bar, they both have a bottle of beer.

Product placement: Bollinger, Heineken and Smirnoff are mentioned in the credits.

By the book: Shares a title (and nothing else) with Fleming's short story A Quantum of Solace.

Total: 11 (and possibly one or two more).
