"World's Most Expensive Champagne at $275,000 a Bottle

Some vintage 1907 Heidsieck champagne that's been sitting on the bottom of the ocean for the past 80 years is being sold for $275,000 a bottle at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow.
Over 200 bottles of the long-lost, perfectly-preserved bubbly were salvaged from a shipwreck off the coast of Finland, Russian newspaper Komersant reports. At the time of the accident in 1916 the wine was on its way to the Russian Imperial family.
The Ritz-Carlton, where top suites go for upwards of $15,000 a night, is now offering them at $275,000 a bottle, making it the world's most expensive champagne. Sounds like the perfect drink for all those oligarchs."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Soooooooooooooo, Piper Heidsieck is really making a resounding return to champagne royalty, huh? The pedigree of these bottles is not in dispute (they do have a fantastic provenance), but ... run that price tag by me again. Did you say "$275,000"? That's a little bit steep my man ... lol. Can you imagine how much this would cost in a club? You know how they like to jack the bottle prices up.
Look, I appreciate the variations and distinct personalities of different champagnes and what not, but, @ a certain point, it's all crushed grapes to me ... lol.
