No matter the occasion, popping a bottle of bubbly champagne is always appropriate. A glass of bubbly is always a welcome treat, whether on someone's special day, an upcoming holiday, or just because they want to. There are so many choices when it comes to popping a cork, and we can sympathize with those who find it overwhelming. You can choose from one of their hand-picked selections for brunch, a present, or just opening a bottle for a celebratory glass.

Since then, champagne has remained the drink of choice for the rich and famous. It's a sign of success, but it's also a sign of happiness and celebration. Opening the bottle and hearing the soft pop never fails to put a smile on people's faces. It's a pleasant drink that enriches any occasion or event.

Goût de Diamants, one of the world's most prestigious luxury champagne brands, announced in 2013 the launch of the world's most expensive bottle of champagne, the Taste of Diamonds.

Sipping Diamonds In A Bottle

The Taste of Diamonds champagne, which was created by luxury designer Alexander Amosu, is now the most costly in the world. It costs $1.8 million, which is quite a bit of money. The Taste of Diamonds bottle's retro look will surely make the drinker nostalgic for the heyday of the roaring twenties. An 18-karat white gold tag with the brand's label is attached to the bottle and features the drinker's name inscribed in pure gold. Against the gold liquid swirling inside the luxury bottle, an 18-karat diamond sits atop the tag. "Taste of Diamonds" champagne illustrates that diamonds are a girl's friend; a splash here or there can never go wrong.

It's not just that the champagne is made from the best grapes in France; the bottle was designed by world-renowned designer Alexander Amosu, too. A Nigerian-born British entrepreneur is well-known for his work on the world's most costly suit. Inlaid with diamonds and sporting gold buttons, the claim set a Guinness World Record price of AUD 128 000. To go along with this accomplishment, Amosu creates world-renowned champagnes, including the elegant and pricey Goût de Diamants line.

The Brains Behind The Pricey Idea

Shammi Shinh, the 29-year-old creator of Prodiguer Brands who came up with the pricey cooperation idea, is the brains behind it all. In honor of the $116,000 Armand de Brignac, nicknamed the Ace of Spades, Alexander Amosu's Goût de Diamants has been created, combining the finest champagne and gold.

In a meeting with Alexander Amosu, the Goût de Diamants team urged him to come up with something extraordinary idea. An 18-carat white gold ring weighing approximately 48gsm with a single deep-cut white diamond weighing 19 carats was handcrafted by the artist using inspiration from the Superman style signature. Amosu said the bottle already had a distinctive aesthetic due to its natural form, and all he had to do was take it to the next level of absolute luxury.

The artist from the UK recently set a Guinness World Record for the most expensive suit in 2009. It required more than 80 hours and 5,000 stitches to make the handmade suit of qiviuk, vicuna, and pashmina from the Himalayas.

The Million Dollar Packaging

The Rosé bottle features pink stunningly beautiful Swarovski crystals, while the Blanc de Blancs and Brut bottles feature clear crystals. Goût de Diamants became the most expensive champagne bottle in 2013 when Amosu changed the pewter sign with a label of 18-carat gold and the Swarovski crystal with a 19-carat white gold plating. The vintage champagne bottle with a "roaring 20s" theme costs as much as a Bugatti Veyron.

Blending Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier result in a luscious, creamy mouthfeel that's as silky as a cloud, with a delicate and elegant finish and rich floral notes. It's the unique packaging, though, that drives the price of this bottle of champagne to $1.2 million. Goût de Diamants collaborated with Nigerian designer Alexander Amosu to develop a unique champagne bottle, which is now on sale. "Goût de Diamants" has changed the Swarovski crystal Superman insignia logo to 18-carat white gold. The emblem is adorned with a single, perfect white diamond weighing 19 carats. The bottle's design is meticulously handcrafted by a master artisan with more than four decades of experience.

According to reports, a bottle of the world's most costly champagne was given to Don Jazzy by its inventor, luxury brand designer Alexander Amosu. At $1.8 million, the bottle of Gouts de Diamants (Taste of Diamonds) champagne is one of the most expensive in the world. As far as Don Jazzy was concerned, he was the first person in Nigeria to get his hands on a bottle. PSquare's Peter Okoye wrote on Instagram when the champagne was first introduced: In response to this, Amosun posted asking the brand to bring Peter Okoye a bottle on the same social networking site. There is a possibility that they lost Peter Okoye's bottle in transit after Don Jazzy stated that he received the first one.
