Champagne Piper Heidsieck

"Piper-Heidzik" - the main drink in the cinema, as they are celebrated their victory nominees for the Oscar and participants in the Cannes festival.

The history of the ascent to the "alcoholic Olympus" began in the 18th century, when the wine house was founded by Florans Louis Heidesc. According to the legend, Piper Heidsieck champagne was originally so delicious that in the year of its founding the company immediately appeared in a glass of Marie Antoinette - the queen of France.

In the 19th century, the management passed into the hands of the nephew of Florence-Louis - Christian. At the same time, the development of the company was handled by Henri Guillaume Piper, whose name also joined the name of the drink.

At the end of the 19th century, the winery started working with Carl Faberge. The famous jeweler has developed a unique bottle design for a rare cuvée, which was decorated with precious stones and gold. The cost of a bottle of "Piper-Haidsik" - 275 000 dollars.

Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Blanc de Blanc

Another bottle of sparkling wine, recognized in 2009 as the most expensive champagne in the world. Dear alcohol was created by the famous French company - Pernod Ricard.

Only 156 bottles were delivered to Russia, and it was possible to taste the drink only in the restaurant "Turandot", located on Tverskoi Boulevard.

A set of 12 bottles was worth 50,000 euros. The high price of champagne is not accidental. And it's not that each bottle was painted manually in the Art Nouveau style and covered with enamel, and not that a sparkling drink was made from a grape variety that grows only in one place on Earth.

The collection was created specifically for the hyper-rich people of the planet. 100 exclusive boxes of champagne spread all over the world and found their customers in China, America, England, Switzerland, France, Japan and Russia. One bottle of Perrier Jouet with a volume of 750 ml cost each owner 4,166 euros.

Cognac Henri IV Dudognon Heritage

The most expensive cognac (the price for one bottle is $ 2 million) was named after the French ruler Henry IV. The king was the favorite of the people, so in 1776, when the production of cognac was opened, it was decided to name the variety in his honor.

However, it became expensive in 2009 - during the auction in Dubai, where the bottle was bought for 2 million dollars. The secret of the incredible price was in the packaging. The decanter was made of platinum and 24-carat gold. The tare was 4 kg. As an ornament used 6,5 thousand precious stones, most of which - diamonds.

As for the drink itself, expensive alcohol is created on the basis of exclusive cognac spirits of secular aging.

The Macallan Fine & Rare Vintage

Unrivaled collection of whiskey of this brand has no equal. A bottle of Scottish alcoholic beverage, bottled in 1926, costs 38,000 dollars. However, a record price was set in 2005, when at one of the auctions in the US, a South Korean businessman bought whiskey for $ 75,000.

And in 2010, a Scottish-made alcoholic beverage in a crystal decanter was sold for $ 460,000. Analog whiskey Macallan Fine & Rare Vintage 1926 can be purchased for $ 10,000.

The most expensive liquor: the price is 43.68 million dollars!

D'Amalfi Limoncello Supreme is a special drink. The bottle is decorated with the world's most rare diamond weighing 18.5 carats, and the neck - three precious stones of 12 carats.

However, who would have thought that the famous (especially those who traveled to Italy), "Limoncello" will become the most elite and expensive liqueur in the world! By the way, in Russia he is preferred to Sheridans.

A total of 2 copies were produced. One liqueur, the price of which exceeded $ 48 million, was bought, and the second one has not yet found its owner.

"Diva"

This alcohol is especially valuable in Russia. Although the usual drink for us is not of great value, however, there is a copy, the cost of which is amazing.

Vodka Diva from Scotland at a cost of 1,600,000 dollars, according to the manufacturers, goes through a triple cleaning: first with ice, then the beverage is cleaned with charcoal, which is obtained from the Scandinavian birch, and at the final stage it is passed through diamond sand.

Whether it's true or just a marketing move is unknown, but the fact that the bottle is decorated with precious stones is a proven fact. However, if you are interested in a smaller number of jewelry on the container, you can buy "Diva" for a lower cost. Only for 3700 dollars.

Tequila

Alcoholic beverage, the same pure, as silver of 925 tests. Tequila Ley 925 was recognized in 2006, on July 20, when the first bottle from the series "Passion of Aztec" was sold for 225,000 dollars.

Of course, tequila, belonging to the ultra-premium class, can not be cheap, but the high cost is also due to the packaging. Each bottle of the series "Passion of Aztec" is created from ceramics by hand, and on top of it is decorated with jewels. The project of bottles was handled by world-famous industrial designer Fernando Altamirano. On each bottle there is an engraving with the inscription "Aztec Passion", which was invented by the artist Alejandro Gómez Oropesa.

A total of 33 bottles of tequila were produced, where platinum and white gold were used as decoration. On each container there is an engraving in the form of the emblem of Mexico City. Each vessel required about two kilograms of jewelry.

Isabella Isle

Isabella's Islay whiskey is dedicated to the queen of Spain and was created by the best experts of Luxury Beverage Company.

Scotch whiskey is enclosed in a crystal carafe decorated with diamonds. Speech about the design came not just so: according to the producers, when creating an alcoholic drink the rate was made not on the taste of the content, but on an exclusive container.

But this does not mean that whiskey itself does not deserve attention. After all, in the elegant decanters there is the best alcohol of the distillery Luxury Beverage.

Isabella's Islay comes in two forms:

1. Original - a drink, enclosed in a decanter of rock crystal, decorated with 8.5 thousand diamonds and 300 rubies.
2. Edition - this whiskey is also enclosed in a decanter of rock crystal, but is not decorated with rubies, but with diamond inscriptions. The cost of royal drink is 740 000 dollars.

Wray & Nephew

If the alcoholic beverages listed earlier attracted attention with their unique bottle design, then the most expensive rum in the world deserved its title solely due to age and quality.

Wray & Nephew arrived from Jamaica, and the brand itself is considered one of the oldest on the island and the largest exporter. Rum was created approximately 70 years ago, at the moment there are only 4 bottles of quality alcohol. The cost of each reaches 54,000 dollars.

Beer Vielle Bon-Secours

Before you get into the glass, a Belgian beer with a strength of 8% is aged for 10 years. Try a quality drink at the London Bar Bierdrome.

The beer was famous for its unique tart lemon flavor with spicy shades of anise and licorice. Despite the fact that the recipe of cooking is kept in the strictest secrecy, it became known that it is based on iris, malt, caramel and a mixture of citrus fruits. To visitors of a stylish bar in London only 3 kinds of the most expensive beer La Vielle Bon-Secours are accessible :

• amber;
• light Coloured;
• dark.

According to the famous Belgian sommelier, each variety is difficult to taste, but perfectly balanced. Therefore, when drinking beer, alcohol is practically not felt. To spill one 3-gallon bottle (13, 65 liters), it will take 2 people. The cost of such containers is 1150 dollars. For a pint (a glass of 0.56 ml) will have to pay about 45 dollars.

The last tip: expensive alcohol is good because you can not drink a lot of it. A deterrent factor will be its price. Therefore, use noble drinks in moderation and, of course, not before you turn 21.
