Champagne socialist" is a pejorative political term originating in the United Kingdom.
The phrase is used to describe self-identified socialists, whose comfortable upper middle-class lifestyles are thought to contradict their political convictions; this is typified by their supposed consumption of the luxury drink Champagne. It is a popular epithet that implies a degree of hypocrisy, and it is closely related to the concept of the liberal elite.
It is broadly similar to the American terms Learjet liberal, limousine liberal or latte liberal, and to idioms in other languages such as the Spanish Izquierda caviar, the French Gauche caviar, the German Salonkommunist, Brazilian Esquerda Caviar or Socialista de Iphone, and the Italian Radical chic. Other related terms include Hampstead liberal, Gucci socialist, and in Ireland smoked salmon socialist.
