WTF? World's most expensive champagne comes your way at $6,576 a pop!

Thanks to the writers at Born Rich for putting this on my radar...........Let's just say your not going to be able to buy this bubbly at your local wine shop.

This article is, strictly, not for the teetotalers as they would surely associate it with spendthrift behavior. For the others, the world’s most expensive champagne goes on sale Thursday targeting a “super-rich” global elite. The special edition Perrier-Jouet champagne is a mishmash of sugar and wines amassed ages back. A tailored, limited version 12-bottle boxed set bearing a price tag of 50,000 Euros or $78,944, or a single bottle at 4,166 Euros or $6,576 will go on vending this Thursday, the 20th of March. Together with the bottles, customers would be offered a storage nest in Perrier-Jouet’s for coming eight months. But wait a minute, the privilege of buying the bubbly demands qualification as the sales will be limited to populace of super-rich clients located in the States, U.K., Japan, China, Russia, Switzerland and France. They hope to sell off box-sets to a total of 100 people worldwide. It would definitely smash the record set by limited edition of Dom Perignon champagne in 2005 that was sold for 12,000 Euros for each three-liter bottle. So, a record in making awaits you.
