Don't shake it: James Bond switches from vodka martini to Heineken

There's been a rumour going around that's pretty hard to swallow: In the new James Bond movie 'Skyfall', Daniel Craig's dashing, womanising, boozing 007 will ditch his trademark vodka martini ("shaken, not stirred") for... a Heineken. Presumably not shaken or stirred.

With the budget cuts and studio problems that held back this Bond sequel at Sony Pictures, more advertising has crept in.

Rather than the usual abundance of Sony products, designer watches ('Casino Royale' even had a blatant dialogue exchange about Bond's Omega watch), the new move looks set to replace his iconic beverage, one which has been suavely ordered by Connery, Moore, Dalton et al over the decades.

Craig's Bond genesis story 'Casino Royale' "introduced" the drink to the secret agent, but just two films later the legacy looks set to be dropped.
