Awesome Champagne

Your artisanal sourdough starter? No one is impressed. To wow ‘em with a truly badass skill, pop open a champagne bottle with a sword. Award-winning bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler – author of the The Bar Book – created Cocktail Kingdom’s machete-styled champagne sabre to help you perform the nifty trick.

Looking a special beer for the holidays? This golden brew comes in a champagne-like 750ml bottle, complete with foil-covered cork. It has tiny bubbles – and 10.3% alcohol to keep your cockles warm.

Now that’s product packaging: Armand de Brignac’s Brut Gold champagne is gold-plated with stamped pewter labels–the bubbly inside is also good, scoring an A on DrinkHacker.

There are few better ways to celebrate the New Year than with a bottle of Cristal Brut 2000; rated 95 by Wine & Spirits, this golden champagne has a fruity taste with a powerful finish.

If the Champagne Cruise wasn’t enough, Veuve Clicquot also has a $70,000 Champagne Fridge. Standing over six feet tall, it’ll keep your overpriced bubblies chilled at 54 degrees F.

You haven’t lived until you blow $80k on booze: Veuve Clicquot and luxury speedboat maker RIVA have teamed up to sell 4 bottles of champagne for the price of a Corvette Z06.
