007 Silver Saber Bottle (SRP $149): The Silver Saber bottles are nothing short of iconic with their metallic design and for the fact that they light up. This bottle takes the signature Silver Saber design and gives it a special 007-twist and will only be released in 1.75L bottles.

The Bollinger Spectre Limited Edition (SRP$229): This contains a unique Bollinger cuvée, exclusively released to celebrate the partnership. It is the only 2009 vintage that the iconic Champagne house will release, making it a must-have for champagne collectors and wannabe-spies alike. Inspired by the style and sophistication of the world of Bond, the bottle is encased in a limited edition chill box, designed by Carré Basset, which keeps the bottle chilled for two hours after refrigeration.

Now, we've got our first teaser for the new show, and it's just as baffling as you might expect. In the teaser, we see a woman licking every donut in a box of donuts, as well as a sign that says "Help yourself" along with a smiley face. The teaser is just 30 seconds long, and we don't see Seehorn or have any context for what the show is about.
