The world’s most expensive Champagne

Champagne is selling at a staggering $275,000  a  bottle  at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow.   Not bad, I suppose, when you consider that a suite in the hotel will only set you back $15,000 a night.   But why the price tag, you might ask?   Well, this is no ordinary Champagne and it comes with quite a tale.   Over 200 bottles of this vintage 1907 Heidsieck Champagne have been retrieved from a shipwreck off the coast of Finland. The accident occurred back in 1916 when  its cargo  was on its way to the Russian Imperial family.
