Namely, any person, be it a celebrity, musician, writer or politician (commonly), who nominally espouse the virtues of Socialism and champion the hardships of living a down-to-earth existence among the disenfranchised and down-trodden of society, yet, actually holiday half of the year on plush islands, accept honours from the Queen and rub shoulders with the affluent over horderves.
These people are generally bleeding-heart Liberals on the outside, relishing the reflective glory of the appearance of being sympathetic to the plight of the working man, yet, when they are confronted with genuine poverty and urban degradation, choose to live far away in the country where the smell can't get to them.
The syndrome can be explained in the maxim, “If you're not a socialist at the age of 20 you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at the age of 40, you have no brain.", only that a true Champagne Socialist is a person who fails to admit their obvious contradiction in the hopes no-one will notice they went to Eaton or have reneged on all their radical convictions by becoming a rich git (who won't share their money) by adhering to Capitalist/Conservative principles.
These people are commonly found in the Arts.

champagne problems is the second track on Taylor swift’s album evermore. It’s a song where longtime college sweethearts had very different plans for the same night, one to end it all and one who brought a ring. This song shows how the girl deals with mental issues which she describes as champagne problems and she sings about how she left her lover standing and turned him down when he proposed. She is sure that the boy will find the right girl someday and that girl will never leave him standing like she did, that girl will patch up his tapestry which she shred. She is sure that someday he’ll marry that girl and he won’t remember her and her champagne problems. Lyrics like: ,,This dorm was once a madhouse” I made a joke “well it’s made for me”
Show that she gave him hints about her mental illness and she joked about it in order to deal with it- to hide all her champagne problems.
When you’re listening to champagne problems you’ll feel it, you’ll feel the sadness, the pain and the lost love and lost hope . You’ll feel just like you experienced the same because Taylor swift ,my dear, is the best songwriter of our generation and makes me want to experience such a heartbreak too. Also the piano played by William Bowery (😉)makes you feel even more pain and makes you feel like that pain will last for evermore but it doesn’t, unless you listen to champagne problems on repeat- like me, I’m in pain but I love it.

The act of coming due to masturbation after a heated argument with your significant other when you won the argument and she refuse to have sex with you for days.
"Maybe she won't sleep with you for af couple of days, who cares? Rub it out like a man, it's the Champagne of victory!"

A martini glass full of champagne with cocaine on the rim, as salt would be on a Margarita. Very popular in the late 1980's an -90's.
