Well, according to the Queen's cousin Margaret Rhodes, HRH likes to have a glass of Champagne with her evening meal. While we don't know what brand she prefers, it's likely to be one of the eight brands that have a Royal Warrant, including Bollinger, Lanson, Moet & Chandon, Veuve Cliquot, Laurent Perrier, Krug.
The Queen is also partial to a tipped at lunchtime too, according to her former chef Darren McGrady, who says Her Majesty enjoys a gin and Dubonnet (a sweet wine-based aperitif) with a slice of lemon and a "lot of ice" shortly before lunch.
While experts say drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week is bad for your health, we say if it's good enough for Queen Elizabeth, then it's good enough for us.
