What is the most expensive bottle of champagne?
I read some champagne may cost up to few thousand pounds and I wonder if this is true.
Answers:
Dom Perignon - as far as I know.
But I don't know much about expensive things....
Not sure how recent this is but check out this link
Thats nothing, some champagne can cost upwards of 100k. Its all to do with rareity. You can't drink it, but some collect it like antiques.
Champagne is the most over rated thing in the world.
Not sure of the most expensive, must be in the tens if not hundreds of thousands. a normal non-vintage bottle can be about ￡20
Here in the USA, a vintage bottle of 1935 Dom Perignon will definitely set you back a few thousand $$$. Heck, even a bottle of 1920 vintage Churchill port will make you break the bank.
Being a champagne drinker myself, I prefer Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin (orange label), chilled for at least 24 hours and served in a high flute. If I get in an AbFab mood, I drink it straight from the bottle, sweetiedarling.
Cheers!
It can cost literally thousands depends on year etc.
1936 Chatauea De Pluma. So rare that a bottle could cost as must as 15000 dollars, a few thousand pounds. This Champange was distilled with cocain and other hullicinagines.
The most expensive Champagne is usually regarded as Krug Clos du Mesnil. The 1995 vintage sells for ￡550 at Berry Brothers.
The large drinks company Pernod Ricard is planning to make the most expensive champagne in the world, Perrier Jouet's Belle Epoque (simply by charging ￡670 a bottle!).
Small houses like Krug do not make many bottles and because it is so good it can sell for a lot of money. Vintage Champagnes, particularly ones produced in years in which not many were made, will go up and up in price and auctions can create very silly prices.
There was a methuselah (eight bottles) of another top Champagne, Louis Roederer Cristal (the main competitor to Krug) sold for ￡8,020 at Bonham's in London in 2005.
The most expensive champagne in the world sold at auction in 2005 actually sold for $17,625 for just one bottle.
And it was yummy ;)
Bollinger produce a prestige cuvee called "Vieille Vignes" that is 100% Pinot Noir and is only produced on rare occasions. Salon cuvee "S" is accepted as the wine that is normally most expensive as they produce only vintage wines. Champagne houses do produce wines that tend to be over inflated the most obvious being the Taittinger wrap bottles. The bottles were collectors items but the product was fairly bog standard.
depends on the area but A.Solon is right up there
