I remember when I thought Martini and Rossi’s Asti Spumante was the business. But now my bank account’s grown up and I know a lot better.
Champagne was once relegated to royalty and the super rich and people love champagne because of the level of prestige it has been associated with. For this reason, champagne is one of the most expensive drinks one can think of.
Champagne brands are produced in France. Champagne is a final product of fermentation of grape fruits and a proper treatment to give it the best taste ever.
Therefore, the following is a list of the six most expensive brands of champagne.
6. The Krug Clos d’Ambonnay
This champagne brand comes in between $3,500 and $5,000 dollars and it is manufactured by the Krug company. It is manufactured using red wine grapes and it attracts quite a bit of attention At this price tag, it is placed at the sixth position of this countdown.
5. Cristal Brut 1990
Coming in at number 5 known to some who remember the 90’s as having been referred to as holy water. A bottle of The Champagne Cristal Brut 1990 is going to run you around $17,625. This is the champagne spoken of in rap and hip hop lyrics and hailed as one of the top brands to acquire. A notable fact it’s also known as Methuselah. The reason for the high cost? The company only produces a very limited number of bottles; so good luck finding it.
4. Krug 1928
Coming in at the hefty price tag of $21,000, Krug 1928 makes number four on our distinguished list. The best variety of grapes grown the world over are chosen to produce this tasteful brand and the bottle design was apparently released back in 1938 and still delights to this very day.
3. Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam
At only $40,000 Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam is a master piece sparkling wine. And it’s extremely unique label design makes it a stand out to everyone who’s ever watched a movie about the rich and famous and those who live the lavish lifestyle. This is one of my personal favorites.
2. 2013 Armand de Brignac Brut Rose 30-Liter – $275,000
If you thought that the Dom Perignon was too much, both in price and quantity, hold your breath because this one is even greater.
Covered in pink-gold, the 30 Liter bottle of Armand de Brignac Brut Rose is a fine example of pink champagne made by blending sparkling white wine with a proportion of still Pinot Noir.
If you’re wondering why this behemoth of a bottle, you should know that it was Jay Z’s idea. But that’s nothing when you think about the price. It costs a whooping $275,000.
1. 2013 Taste of Diamonds – $2.07 million
Created by the luxury champagne brand Goût de Diamants, the 2013 Taste of Diamonds doesn’t impress through the champagne itself but through ostentatious design, boasting a real diamond right on the bottle, on a white gold Super-Man like tag.
The bottle was designed by the famous luxury designer Alexander Amosu, and it gives the drinker feelings of nostalgia for the times long gone.
The price for such an extravagant bottle of champagne is a stunning $2.07 million. But hey, who’s having his name written on the white-gold tag of the bottle alongside the brand?
