(TheDrinksBusiness) - A Saudi millionaire is reported to have paid US$136,000 for a six-litre bottle of Champagne in Dubai over the weekend. The man bought the Methuselah of Louis Roederer Cristal in the early hours of Saturday morning for him and his friends.
The vintage bottle is believed to be one of three available worldwide. There are, apparently, two other bottles for sale at nightclubs in New York and London.
The unidentified Saudi national was described by bar staff as a ‘well educated gentleman… who spoke several languages and ordered the bottle in French.’
It is reported that the Cristal bottle was from the 1990 vintage originally intended for the Millenium celebrations.
