Many 19th-century Russian novels used the term "klikoskoïe" as a synonym for high-class champagne. In the 1942 film "Casablanca", Captain Renault (played by Claude Rains) recommends Veuve Clicquot to Major Strasser (Conrad Veidt). In Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale, the champagne is mentioned twice. The first instance is during his baccarat showdown with Le Chiffre, and the second later in the story when he is accompanying Vesper Lind. The brand is also mentioned in songs.
