Champagne Charlie is a 1989 French-Canadian dramatic television miniseries, directed by Allan Eastman and starring Hugh Grant, Megan Gallagher, Megan Follows and Béatrice Agenin. It is based on the novel by Joseph Henriot and depicts the life of the nineteenth century wine merchant Charles Heidsieck.
It had a budget of $7 million. Hugh Grant said "I play the archetypal hero. I hit people in the face, I rescue pretty girls. They fall in love with me. I'm a man, I'm charming. All the things I wanted to be. It's a very nice role, really."
