We think luxury breeds luxury. And we do not mean it in an infestation sort of a way! It’s simple that luxury impresses one enough to acquire more luxury. Take fine champagne for instance. A nice and exclusive bottle of your favorite fizzy wine easily deserves to be served in the right kind of glass and in a fine champage bowl. This article focuses on the latter.

Brand Christofle has set out to bring to you the extra large champagne bowl that has been made in hand, and spectacularly so too. This one is definitely a collector’s item. Called the Extra Large Champagne Bowl (yeah, now that name’s far from innovative but the bowl definitely is) this one is being sold under the name Christofle Belle Epoque. We are told that this creation is the baby of the collaboration between the two maisons.

Credit for the eloquent design goes to Emile Galle who created it in 1902. No wonder, this piece is so valuable. The extraordinary art work deserves to be impressed upon our memories for life. You bet, this one comes expensive.

How does a bottle of real expensive champagne packed in with a shoe sound to you? We dunno about the men but we are quite sure that the womenfolk will welcome this rather unique marketing idea. Champagne makers Piper Heisieck have teamed up with famous and much celebrated shoe maker Christian Loubotin to create a new and unique offering to their loyals and build a new following too.

The box set is called Le Rituel. It packs in a bottle of a high quality champagne along with a very elegant glass shoe that comes from Louboutin’s workshop. We are told that this little feat is inspired by an 1880 ritual when a sleek glass shoe made for a curious piece of your interior deco. So you too can show off your designer shoe on your mantlepiece though we think it will look best on your bar.

We think the ladies will be forced to miss the second shoe that would have complete this fashionable pair. Because then it would have been flaunted to dainty women feat rather than on the bar. A good and interesting buy nonetheless.

Leon Verres is a name second for luxury. And looks like this brand does not like to be limited to the most expensive champagne category alone. In fact, we have discovered that it has a pretty good taste in expensive shoes too. Yes, you heard it right. Leon Verres has ventured (though the first time was in 2004) into the world of fashionable footwear with a luxury shoe range that is being marketed under the same brand name. And we also hear that the inner sole of the shoes in this collection  has been made in real gold and platinum.

But obviously the price bracket is a real high. How does $145,000 sound to you? Well, the champagner-maker-cum-shoe-maker claims that the finest of materials like gold leather, precious diamonds, sapphires as well as black silk have been purchased to conjure this extrvagant treat for your toes.

Again, do not think that Leon Verres shoe collection would be limited to gold and silvers alone. Well, there is a variety of colors like yellow, beige, brown and red apart from the classic shades of luxury. So wear these and make your feet feel like a million bucks. Literally!

If you are one of those who can never find a champagne to your liking when on the go, then the MontBlanc travel box begs to be heard. This new luxe travel companion is a creation of designer Julien Primard. Shaped like a mini-clutch, this high-end gastronomy case is a real delight when you look at creating special moments of your own, anytime, anywhere.

The travel box carries the champagne along with caviar and foe grass but both in small quantities. Apart from that, the package also has place to accommodate two small bowls, a pair of champagne glasses and a small table cloth too.

The traditional black and white color scheme looks good on the resin cabinet that has leather-trimmed interiors. But this concept may take a bit to be realised for the spirited fans out there. Until then you can check out the carry cases offered by Veuve Cliquot.

If you are a restaurateur, you would be interested to know more about N2Wine System which is a cool way to store and dispense wine so that it tastes good always. Apparently it is not always that every aged wine tastes good. The moment a wine reaches the age of six months, that’s where it tastes the best. This is what is being told by the makers of N2Wine.

Though I can’t really comment about it as I have always learned that wine always gets better with age, N2Wine maybe the best bet if you are looking for a great way to dispense wine sans bottles right from cellar. However, your guests may not like the idea of drinking from glasses that already had been filled with wine and miss out the romance that opening a bottle of wine brings.

The N2Wine comes with 19 large globules that can store loads of wine at a temperature which is just right and also protect it from oxygen. If you are planning to get it for your house, we are sorry. It is meant for restaurateurs and the like.

There is always something nice about the most expensive product. Usually, people look up to those who use products that are the most expensive in the world. With that in mind, you must try the 1928 Krug, which is being touted as the most expensive bubbly in the world.

The next time you want to raise a toast and also make a show of it, get this champagne and raise a toast so that people can know how decadent and snobbish you are. The 75cl bottle costs $21,000 and each sip would be worth hundreds of dollars.

The champagne tastes of honey, and has a depth and aroma that makes it worthwhile. Certainly it must be one of the best champagnes ever bottled and it also must have had a great history behind it. However, $21,000 for a bottle of wine? Come on guys, give me a break!

There are times when you are chilling a bottle of champagne but the case looks really bad. In such a time, you should go ahead and get one of the more exclusive cases manufactured by Moet & Chandon. The company has unveiled some really cool midnight gold case and it is designed to chill only Moet and Chandon. It has been designed by Camille Toupet, and she a French designer.

It comes with Swarovski crystals in order to make it look like the champagne bubbles. Though it does not exactly look like bubbles, it certainly looks very cool and beautiful. It is covered with 14 carat gold and only a limited edition of 100 would be made available.

Considering the exclusivity and also the charm, this case would cost you a lot of money. However, I would suggest you get this for yourself, as it is so cool.
