The range will be launched in December, with the crystal glasses and barware being limited to a selective group of retailers in each country and available for 007 fans through a dedicated e-commerce site.

"I'm thrilled to be working with Danjaq on producing such a special range of signature barware," said Martin Butler, MD of Groovy UK. "The quality, design and presentation on the limited range embodies everything James Bond represents - intelligence, sophistication and confidence."
