The House of Krug has created The Sharing set; a new gift set designed to enhance and perfect the experience of tasting and sharing Krug champagne.

Krug has listened to Krug Lovers, who love to share and appreciate their favourite champagne in unexpected places, and has created the Krug Flânerie.

The House has played with the codes of luxury leatherwork to create this practical and ingenious “must have” article.

Bearing the Krug stamp, its adjustable shoulder strap gives the option of carrying it slung across the shoulder or held in the hand.

Based on a 1979 Silver Shadow II this Rolls-Royce panel van was commissioned by Krug Champagne – now part of the LVMH wine division – back in 1984.

With the front two seats remaining the rear has been filled with a pair of refrigerators to keep your bubbly at the optimum temperature.

Covered in special Krug white and burgundy livery, the detailing includes lots of shining chrome and even a key fob made out of a bottle cork.

Last weekend at Acker Merrall & Condit’s first Hong Kong auction of 2009, a 1928 Krug set a new world record for the most expensive bottle of Champagne sold at auction.

The 75cl bottle, from the Krug Collection range (the library collection of the renowned Reims Champagne house), fetched 164,560 Hong Kong dollars ($21,100 USD) after several rounds of fierce bidding.

The record was previously held by a Methuselah (6 litre bottle) of Louis Roederer, Cristal Brut 1990, Millenium 2000 that sold in the US for US$17,625 in December 2005.

If you’re tired of lugging your caviar and Krug around in a run-of-the mill basket, this is the trunk for you.

An exercise in indulgence wrapped in brown colthide leather, this nifty piece, made by Parisian trunk makers Pinel & Pinel, has 10 drawers filled with the necessary accoutrements for a gourmet picnic

The front panel transforms into a small table whilst there are two stools inside the trunk.

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
