Champagne Charlie is a 1989 French-Canadian dramatic television miniseries, directed by Allan Eastman and starring Hugh Grant, Megan Gallagher, Megan Follows and Béatrice Agenin.[1] It is based on the novel by Jacqueline Lefèvre and depicts the life of the nineteenth century wine merchant Charles Heidsieck.[2]
It had a budget of $7 million. Hugh Grant said "I play the archetypal hero. I hit people in the face, I rescue pretty girls. They fall in love with me. I'm a man, I'm charming. All the things I wanted to be. It's a very nice role, really."[3]
