Their bubble has been burst.
A major booze distributor has suspended several top salesmen for texting a lewd photo of themselves in a strip club to a female champagne-company exec after the vintner severed ties with the firm.
Southern Wine & Spirits Director of Sales Joseph Eger and District Manager Dimitrios Kaloudis were both pictured Tuesday on The Post's front page pouring $1,000 worth of Laurent-Perrier rosé into an ice bucket at the Hustler Club — as a stripper gripped Eger's crotch.

A photo of the bubbly spill was sent to Laurent-Perrier exec Sabine Latapie, which she said was in retaliation for her company canceling its New York distribution deal with Southern.
The distributor said it has suspended "several sales management employees" pending an internal investigation into the "disturbing allegations."
"SWS takes all complaints against its employees seriously, including a claim of unprofessional conduct," the Miami-based company said in a prepared statement.
"Should the claims of inappropriate conduct be corroborated, SWS will take the appropriate disciplinary actions and issue sincere apologies not only to our longtime supplier but also the hardworking employees at SWS who have always sought to represent the company with the highest level of integrity and professionalism."

The company did not confirm the names of the suspended employees, or whether they included a third, unidentified man who posed for the strip-club photo.
Latapie, New York state manager for Laurent-Perrier US, wrote on Facebook that Eger texted her the photos at 1:20 a.m. Friday, following Laurent-Perrier's announcement that it was shifting its New York business to The Winebow Group.
"This behavior is precisely why we are terminating our relationship with Southern New York," she fumed.
Latapie also called getting the pics "sexual harassment, but I won't even go there."
Latapie didn't return a request for comment Tuesday, but Laurent-Perrier US president Michelle DeFeo hailed the suspensions.
"We are pleased that SWS is taking the incident involving the individuals in these photos as seriously as we are," DeFeo said, "This type of conduct should not be tolerated in the wine industry nor any other."
Eger and Kaloudis did not return requests for comment.
