He who does not take risks does not drink champagne. Moreover, at a price of $ 10,000 per bottle. It is not known what risks the owners of this sparkling wine had to take to get it, but the fact remains that some bottles of champagne can be as expensive as the budget of a small state.
Delivery over 100 years
For the table of Nicholas II, champagne 'Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck' was supplied to Russia from Europe on ships. But one of the cargo was never delivered - the ship was shipwrecked, and bottles with the coveted drink ended up at the bottom of the sea. Only in 1997 divers discovered a batch of 200 bottles.
Each bottle sold for $ 275,000. Still, for a hundred years on the seabed, champagne has become a real rarity.
More expensive than gold
The name "Don Perignon" is associated all over the world with incredibly expensive and exclusive alcohol. But sometimes even this company surpasses itself in price and exclusivity. For example, one bottle from the 'Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam' collection, adorned with white gold, cost each customer $ 40,000.
The minimum price for a bottle of champagne in Russia is 115 rubles, that is, approximately $ 3, 5.
Every whim for your money
Producers of ‘Perrier-Jouet’ champagne promise to make a bottle of alcohol specifically for your taste for only € 4166. Anyone wishing to order exclusive alcohol will have to come to the factory and indicate how much sugar and wine composition he wants to receive in the coveted bottle. On the label, at the request of the customer, his name is applied.
The foil around the caps on champagne bottles was originally needed to keep out mice and rats in cellars and on ships. Now this is just a tribute to tradition.
Absolute record
All of these price records are amazing. Nevertheless, in October 2013 in London, the elite French company 'Gout de Diamants' presented a drink worth $ 1.8 million. The special vintage-style bottle is adorned with pure gold (from which, by the way, the label is made) and diamonds. Each bottle is engraved with the owner's name.
