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.

Just one look at Chef Pierre Negreverne’s “2″ Wine collection and you will definitely be in love. This very stylish liquor collection has been designed by French ideator K:-hossi Aguessy who is well known for extending a simple elegance to all his delicious cuisines. And now his wine too is being regarded as a ’simple and up to the purpose wine’.

We are told that Aguessy had been breeding this vintage guard wine with a lot of care and hardwork for about six months now. The result? Well, the alcohol earned itself the rich aromas of raspberry mixed with a heady dose of  cherries that complement the pretty deep hint of cinnamon. Wow, now that is one concoction we’d love to spend our saturday evenings sipping on.

Not just that, Aguessy has also managed to introduce traditional materials like African brown Makassar wood along with corian to form the extremely stylish bottle that stores this wonderful spirit. The harmonious blend lends a very classy and futuristic (with traditional elements) touch to the whole affair. Buy this for a very interesting corner in your mini bar.

Ellemme has got together with Sand & Birch to design a new wine cellar concept that is being celebrated as the Winebag Collection. This one has been designed so that it has both functional qualities as well as aesthetic delight. As typical to designs by Ellemme, this one too has been created by combining the best from ancient handicraft with the latest, most innovative production technique.

Especially crafted to be fitted in a hotel room or resort, or even a luxury home front, the Winebag has enough room to store 18 bottles. Oak lamination keeps the doors attractive while the special anti UV rays double glass helps protect the wine from light rays. We are told that the standard version comes in white or black lacquer, but if you do not like those you can try out the deLuxe version that has been covered with fine quality leather but it stores only 8 bottles.

There is a hidden cold light illumination system that calculates correct visibility for your bottles. This helps preserve the quality of the wine.

Home bars are many. So which one do you choose for it is sure that one of the conventional designs that you pick for yourself will end up in more than a few more houses.

There are plenty of integrated lighting too to add to your drinking atmosphere. We are told that the design is inspired by the patches of the ice floe with frost effect.

Passionate collectors of wine will appreciate this! The focus of our attention this time is a cool new wine storage system by the founder of the Revel Custom Wine Cellars, Jim Cash. Apparently, the man was just so uninspired by the traditional cork systems that he thought of a wine keeping system that is centered around the wine and not the rack.

Called the Revel Cellar, it has several units in the form of sliding drawers to hold multiple bottles. And this is gives us a clear view of the wine we need without distrubing the others. You really dont have to removed each and every bottle before getting to your desired bittle.

Cash has designed the shelves so that they remain higher than the eye level. So when you store the bottles with the label facing downards, things can become very easy unlike now. The simple principle behind the Revel Cellar has been borrowed from that of a kitchen cabinet that has base units and upper units installed in such a way that maximum usage is achieved.

Mother Russia is depicted as a farmer woman who toils hard, and carries a sickle in her hand and a bowl of wine in the other hand. The bowl of wine symbolizes her hospitable nature towards the guests. You the party animal need not hold a bowl of wine in order to welcome your guests home but instead can get these aesthetically designed wine glasses by Naomi Theiller.

The glasses are so chic that you would not realize their speciality until you fill them with wine. The idea is to not have a container that reveals the colour of the wine, but to have a container that is revealed by the content! It is just right for an evening when snobbish people arrive in droves, only to be snubbed by an even more snobbish host.

This amazing concept brings forward the idea of wine being filled in a glass and the sandblasted design is revealed as the wine fills the glass with quaint floral designs. It would be amazingly chic if you could get these glasses before the next party! No information about the price or availability, but contact the designer!

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.
