There is nothing more luxurious than a good bottle of wine that comes from a great vineyard. Dom Perignon needs no introduction and they have unveiled a cool new Dom Perignon Wedding, which is a collection of 12 Dom Pérignon Vintage 2000 along with a beautiful white lacquered box. The box also has an additional 13th bottle which comes with the names of the bride and groom written in silver.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, Beyoncé and Jay-Z and also Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have raised their wedding toast with Dom Perignon. After a long time, one could see something luxurious and that makes my mouth water for luxurious wines are something that I find difficult to resist.

I am not sure if the wedding collection would be given to common law partners and same sex unions as well, and if the collection isn’t rainbow friendly you perhaps should not be buying it, for one needs to show support to the cause. Weddings are quite funny for they take so many things in to consideration when it is all about two adults who love each other and want to spend their lives together.

Chopin a brand which very closely resembles the jewellery brand Chopard ( in terms of its spelling) launched its 200 litre mammoth vodka bottle and invited all its connections from the Hollywood to come and put their signature on the bottle, just like pilgrims pay respect at their shrine. This was organized at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF)

This Poland based company organized this extravaganza because it was the 200th birth anniversary of the famous Polish composer (after his name this liquor brand was named).

This liquor company has been in the news for quite a while now, first it presented its American Riviera Award to the ageless Sandra Bullock, and because she received the award, she had to show some respect towards the company. So, she landed up signing the bottle first. Later, many guests followed her. Earlier Tommy Lee Jones, Forest Whitaker and Mickey Rourke have also been felicitated by this award. This award recognizes actors who have changed the face of the American cinema.

Later, this bottle will be sent to the U.S and will be auctioned there to support The GRAMMY Foundation’s Music Preservation Project. This bottle will certainly provide months of inebriation and revelry to the winner.

At a whiskey tasting test, which recently took place, a Taiwanese Whiskey brewery scored an ostentatious 27.5 out of 40 and got the top notch Scottish brands suffer a convincing licking. The Taiwanese present at the connoisseurs’ ‘Blind Taste Test’, held at Scotland, must have relished the fame and basked in the glory.

This Taiwanese whiskey, named Kavalan, is the first of its kind in the quiet land of Taiwan and is produced by the King Car Whiskey Distillery. Earlier, as the number of whiskey lovers in Taiwan was less, whiskey was then imported from different parts of the world, but now, with the increase in number of the ardent admirers of this beverage, the idea of launching a whiskey brewery was spawned.

It wasn’t a cakewalk for the Kings Car to come up with the distinct blend of whiskey, it had to strive and overcome all the hurdles that came in the way.

Langs, a Scottish brand, scored 22 points and was followed by King Robert.Bruichladdich X4+3, another Scottish brand, held the last position by securing a meager 4.5.

“Asians are not only some of the world’s most sophisticated consumers of Scotch, but have begun distilling malts that compete with the best Scottish distilleries.” As published by The Times.

Dom Pérignon believes in creating relationships that last a lifetime. And we do not just mean consumer alone. Our sources have told us that famous Australian industrial designer Marc Newson has yet again come together with the liquor brand (for the fourth time). The reason? Well, they needed a special carrying case cum cooler.

Dubbed the Black Box by Marc Newson, this one has been crafted from a high-tech compound that helps keep a bottle of bubbly chilled just the perfect way even when you are traveling in the hottest of destinations. Yep, it has strong resistance to wear and tear.

The price is an affordable $200 but not many US citizens will be able to own one unless traveling considering it’s currently not available there. You can get it only in the French markets. That apart, Newson is quite hung-ho about his latest creation and about Dom Pérignon. He feels that the brand is classic yet very modern. As far as the bottle goes, the silhouette has actually stood the test of time and has remained unchanged from the day it was born decades ago. Now, that’s a rare quality indeed.

Hennessy has come up with a perfect time machine of its own. No we do not mean to imply that the much respected liquor brand has suddenly gone technological (thank god for that because there are loads of things which we always like the way they were) but that it has created yet another exquisite cognac called Ellipse that captures time and flavor like no other.

This one bears a hefty price tag of $6,500 and comes in a real hot elliptical Baccarat crystal decanter which has been specially designed by Thomas Bastide just for brand Hennessy. A perfect combo of age and elegance, the Ellipse is going to be a real joy for all those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Each of the decanters has been decorated with seven pontils which indicate the presence of seven eaux-de-vie. The elliptical Baccarat crystal decanter is delicate and refined with a lot of class and character. You can sense very well balanced notes of all sorts of crystallized fruits, wild roses and of course, the renowned essence of old cognac.

To enjoy wine most you have to savor it, sip by sip. Gulping it down doesn’t really do justice to the liquor, especially when it is a highly mature one (and naturally, an expensive one too). And it definitely does not deserve to be stored in just any wine cooler but the all new V292. The name does sound a bit too technical but this latest offering from EuroCave comes with a patented Néofresh technology that is just perfect for an ideal aging solution. And mind you, we are thinking real big here. How does 211 bottles sound to you?

The V292 wine cooler is sleek with a very clean and uncomplicated design. Plus it comes equipped with a unique technology that also supports the option of controlling the wine storage environment. Voila, that never really happened before.

A very amazing addition to your house, this wine maturing cooler features 14 sliding shelves. And that is just the start for there is also a removable evaporator along with touch sensitive controls and a frameless impenetrable light black glass door or should we say the UV screened frame glass door! The price tag reads $4,800.

It’s always tough to buy a present for someone who has everything. In that case, we suggest you go for consumables, expensive and rare ones of course. And if your posh friend enjoys tequila then you might safely go for Casa Dragones Sipping Tequila. This one is a great boost to anyone’s spirits in any season, the dreary winter included. And might we add, this is a special drink for it has been handmade in small batches with the aid of a unqiue distillation technique. As a result, the tequila has been endowed with a clean and extra soft flavor.

Each of these stylish spirits have been hand finished by Maestro Tequilero to get that perfect balance of platinum tequila and hints of añejo.

The Casa Dragones Sipping Tequila would surely be wasted as a mixer because it has rich aromas of citrus and florals with some notes of vanilla and other spices. We also tastes a hint of pear. The tequila come in lead-free pure crystal decanter that can be reused once the tequila has all been sipped. The price tag reads $274.99.

Good news is here. Well, those lovers of Bali and the potentials ones in the offing will indeed be thrilled to know that the coolest new bar in the world just opened at the extremely plush Ayana Resort & Spa in the beautiful Asian country famous for its gorgeous waters. Dubbed the Rock bar, this one stands 46 feet tall above the crashing waves. It is indeed a sight to behold. A li’l birdie tells us that a special lift takes you to this wonderful hang out for a drink or two and a much reuiqred relaxed space. We are wondering if the poets and thinkers are already booking their tables there.

After all, uninterrupted, 360-degree breathtaking view are visible from all sides. And the credit for all this goes to designer Yasushiro Koichi from Japan’s Design Studio SPIN. Trust us when we say that this little but very enviable endeavour is a great combination of nature, design, architecture and high spirits.

Apparently, Koichi was aiming to creating an area that promised maximum seclusion for every guest. Might we just add at this point that Ayana’s 78 free-standing luxury villas situated atop cliffs are a great stay-in option. If you haven’t been there, you sure have missed a lot on traditional Balinese way of life with a dollop of luxury thrown in! Again, apart from the Rock Bar, you can always check out the C Bar, Martini Club and Damar Terrace.
