Champagne Jayne is officially back! Still needs help after CIVC battering!




'Great news everyone! Champagne Jayne is officially back! ...as seen on The Project Friday 22nd April.
She might be back but she still carries the financial burden and scars as the result of the last horrific 3 years she has lost due to the trial with the CIVC.

To be able to fully recover she still needs all of our support. So lets help this wonderful lady smile again.

If you and your friends and colleagues could please help her by donating the price of a cup of coffee...the amount would grow very quickly, and Champagne Jayne could devote her time doing what she does best. 

The end to the pain and stress could be very close with your help. Please share this campaign with all your social media contacts.' 

Just a small donation – price of a fashionable coffee – from many people would make a big difference.  

I have just donated. What about you please?

Champagne Jayne (aka Jayne Powell) back in court Monday 13th April

Kind of amusing to see Champenoise honouring Jayne, 
who they later alleged 'tarnished' Champagne's image  


Jayne Powell (Champagne Jayne) and the CIVC will be back in the Australian Federal Court in Melbourne on Monday 13th April 2015 at 10.15. Both sides will submit their closing submissions after which the Judge will then make his conclusion, and in due course will advise both parties of his decision.

Jayne Powell will have her new legal team with her in court.

It is still possible to contribute to Jayne's legal expenses at Go Fund Me. The total now stands at $1850. 

I await the court's verdict with great interest. Both side in this for high stakes – neither can afford to lose!

I am still enjoying a Champagne-free 2015. No great hardship when there are both quality English sparkling wines about as well as those from the Loire. Have recently enjoyed Philippe Foreau's 2007 Vouvray Reserve and his 2010 as well as our long standing close relationship with Triple Zéro from Jacky Blot. 

Considering submitting 'Champagne – no thanks!' as a trademark.
