Property dependent perhaps, though it seems pretty preemptive for a bottle of champagne. Did you ask for a bottle that isn't typically available?

I've definitely filled out these authorization forms before, specifically in Japan at the PH and HR Tokyo, when asking the concierge to make some dining reservations for me. It's to discourage no-shows/late minute cancels for hard-to-get reservations.
