Most Expensive Champagne

US$ 27,000

A glass of bubbly is the hallmark of every indulgent meal, but not all can boast of being the best. In fact, only one can claim this title and that is the Heidsieck&Co Monopole Champagne 1907. The year was 1916 when German submarine sank the bottom of Baltic Sea. Among its precious cargo were crates of Champagne, Cognac and Burgundy wines meant to be given to Tsar Nicolas 2 in St Petersburg. More than 80 years later, a Swedish team cover the wreckage and raises the ship to the surface. And although the Cognac and Burgundy wines were lost, the bottles of Heidsieck & Co Moneopole Champagne remained remarkably well preserved. Today, only 10 bottles from this treasure trove are available for sale at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow
