Renowned French champagne house Krug, part of the LVMH luxury empire, is coming out with a new bespoke offering in time for the holidays.
Called Krug ‘On My Own Terms’, the luxe case can be ordered with a personalized plaque in either metal, mirror, or saddle leather bearing the Champagne Krug coat of arms and the recipient’s name or initials.
The Grand Cuvée is described as “the timelessly stylish signature of Krug.” The cellar case is the latest in a line of luxurious Krug offerings, including the Escape Artist trunks and Hat Box.
Priced at $1,000, it’s the ultimate holiday gift for the serious champagne lover. Via Justluxe
Art and wine lovers will be mingling at the Maison Ruinart Champagne lounge at next month’s annual Art Basel Miami Beach art show.
Internationally acclaimed Dutch furniture designer and artist Maarten Baas will be selling one of his latest works of art—a “melting” centerpiece that turns any room into a Salvador Dalà painting!
Constructed from Murano glass, silver and bottles of Ruinart Champagne, Bouquet de Champagne de Dom Ruinart is inspired by an 18th century Venetian chandelier and is designed to appear as if the chandelier has fallen and is melting into the table, along with bottles of Dom Ruinart and specially designed flutes.
The piece will be offered for sale at $100,000.
(Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house, exclusively producing champagne since 1729. Founded by Nicolas Ruinart in the Champagne region in the city of Reims, the house is today owned by the parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA.)
Veuve Clicquot is opening its first champagne bar and boutique at London’s Harrods store.
The Veuve Clicquot boutique is located on the first floor alongside international luxury fashion labels. There is also a lounge area with gray and yellow tones and glass topped tables for a more quiet place to contemplate money spent.
It will stock the full range of Veuve Clicquot Cuvees, from Yellow Label and Veuve Clicquot Rose to Vintages and La Grande Dame. All are available by the glass and by the bottle. Prices start from £13.00 ($20.00) per flute.
Viktor & Rolf have never been ones to follow the conventional rules of design. Last year they redefined classical style and reinterpreted the iconic object of champagne on behalf of Piper-Heidsieck bringing an upside down twist to their Rosé Sauvage champagne bottle to create a really striking and sophisticated objet d’art.
The Rosé Sauvage bottle becomes a phial. The inverted flute of champagne becomes a goblet. The base of the bottle, now at the top, which reproduces the proportions of the legendary champagne cork and its wire cage and foil, is enhanced with a pink and black gold ribbon stamped with the Piper logo. The secret? A tightly-fitting sleeve slipped over the preformed plastic shell that encases the bottle, all of which enhanced by classic labels in pure champagne tradition.
And while their imaginations are limitless, the bottle certainly is not. It’s priced at 65 euros ($90) and has been available since November 2007 from an exclusive selection of retail outlets, including Colette in Paris. Piper-Heidsieck « upside-down » has recently been awarded at the Monaco Luxe Pack fair !
If you spread F Duerr & Son’s Fine Cut Seville Orange Marmalade with Whisky, Champagne and Gold on your toast for breakfast, you’ll be £76 ($100) poorer after you’ve finished the slice.

This exquisite jar of marmalade costs $40,000 per bottle.
Moët & Chandon prepares to welcome 2009 with an amazing surprise : a new creation signed by talented French designer Camille Toupet.
Midnight Gold is an Imperial Crude Moët & Chandon provided with a luxury and limited edition case.
The Moët & Chandon Midnight Gold case is a case designed specifically to chill bottles of Moët & Chandon and is made of lambskin covered with gold and decorated with hand-sewn swarovski crystals and gilded pearls, which draws it inspiration from Champagne bubbles.
