$100,000 Buys 30L Bubbly Bottle

What you’re seeing right here are two bottles of Armand De Briganc champagne…

Witness it.

But don’t get muddled up thinking the small one on the left is a buddy bottle. It isn’t – it’s a normal size bottle and, in fact, the bottle on the right contains 30 liters of what is regarded as the worlds finest bubbly…

Perspective.

This ‘Midas’ bottle, cracked open in Vegas club XS, takes the cake as this New Year’s top champagne story. It cost a staggering $100,000 (about R700k) and the cork was lifted at UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez’s party. But it wasn’t him who fitted the bill. All we know is that two strong men were employed to carry the 80-pound bottle over to a high roller’s table.

Quite the spectacle!
