I would think a poisoned bottle of brandy would have been more likely as a “gift” for Churchill.

Any toxin would have been neutralized by Winston’s well conditioned exercised working supersized liver.

Churchill had a split of champagne for lunch each day.

Even better, this would have cast suspicion on Lady Astor instead of the Nazi’s. She was the one with this exchange...

Lady to Churchill: “If you were my husband, I would put poison in your drink.”

Churchill to Lady: “If you were my wife, I would drink it.”
