Champagne prices go bubbly!!!

The subprime is a problem for the masses. The super rich are driven with other challenges, like: how can I spend loads of $$$ with only one bottle. Well, best chances are that you settle for the bubbly. Currently we can observe a race between the different champagne houses, trying to reach the ‘most expensive’ tag. Here is a short ranking for the upcoming Xmas:

 

3rd: Perrier-Jouet’s  Special Selection

Available in: Switzerland, France, Russia (or better Moscow), in the US, U.K., Japan and China.

Comes in a 12-bottle boxed set  or single bottles.

Price tags: 50,000 Euros (12-bottle boxed set) and 4,166 Euros for the single bottle.

The guys from Perrier-Jouet’s expect to sell the existing 12-bottle boxed set to a total of 100 people worldwide (meaning, that it’s probably sold out already).

1st: This one is truly special!

A champagne that was recovered from a seabed! The bottles matured by the tides and the waves in the dark for over 80 years. Obviously they ask for a colossal price. Each of the 200 bottles of 1907 vintage champagne is on sale at the Carlton Ritz in Moscow for $300,000. It also comes flavored with a bit of royal history as these bottles were intended to reach the Russian Royal family in 1916 by the Heidsieck vineyard. Sadly, the royals couldn’t sip this bubbly, as the ship sank off the coast of Finland. However, almost eight decades later, when this intoxicating wreckage was reclaimed back, Carlton Ritz bought all of it to quench the thirsts of millionaires and billionaires.

For all the treasure hunters: good luck!
