No Surprise That There's A Lot Of Dom Listed

The Most Expensive Champagnes in the World

4. 1961 Moet & Chandon Charles & Diana Dom Perignon
  • Average price: $3,363
  • This Champagne was chosen for Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding, hence the name. After the nuptials, a handful of commemorative bottles were produced as mementos for the starry-eyed public. Today, they are sought after by collectors.
6. Moët & Chandon Dom Perignon White Gold
  • Average price: $2,353
  • There's no doubt that the maker is respected, but you're mostly paying for the bottle. A laser-engraved white gold-plated bottle, to be sure, but a bottle nonetheless.
11. Moet & Chandon Dom Perignon by Karl Lagerfeld
  • Average price: $1,228
  • A novelty collaboration with fashion house king Karl Lagerfeld, this Champagne's original presentation came complete with a porcelain bowl designed to look like one of Claudia Schiffer's breasts. Buy a bottle, get a boob, as the saying goes! OK, no it doesn't. Sorry.

$10,000 champagne bottle cooler? Only in a Bentley


Bentleys are expensive. They wouldn't be Bentleys if they weren't. Even so, the ~$200k list price for a new Flying Spur is just the starting point. The company's Mulliner customization division offers a wide array of optional extras – all of them suitably pricey – and just introduced a new selection for the sedan.

Highlighting the options list for the Continental's sedan counterpart is a champagne bottle cooler mounted between the rear seats behind the armrest. The on-board mini-fridge fits two standard-size champagne bottles – no magnums, we're afraid – canted forward, as well as a stopper and a pair of flutes with bases designed to evoke the shape of the wheels outside. It all fits in behind frosted glass trimmed in chrome, just in case it wasn't blingy enough for the hip-hop set, and takes Bentley's craftsmen 15 hours to make. No wonder the company charges $10,135 for each one installed, which comes within a Bentley buyer's pocket change of a new Nissan Versa.
