Nigerian Designer Alexander Amosu Creates World's Most Expensive Champagne

Here comes a Champagne that can make a poor man a millionaire.It is a wine you will not want to throw the bottle into the recycle bin. Nigerian luxury designer Alexander Amosu has created the most expensive champagne in the world called Taste of Diamonds. The drink costs 1.2million pounds. If you convert this money to Naira  it is - N250million. An amount that can build 10 standard secondary schools in Ezinifite and Osumenyi.
Amosu created a design which takes its inspiration from the Superman style signature and hand crafted it from 18ct solid white gold weighing approximately 48gsm of solid gold centred by a single flawless deep cut white diamond weighing 19cts. The label is also handmade in 18ct solid gold and weighs approximately 36gsm, handcrafted and engraved with the client's name.
Amosu created the design in collaboration with luxury champagne brand, Goût de Diamants.
Handcrafted from 18-carat solid gold, Goût de Diamants’ Superman-style signature logo is centered by a single, flawless deep-cut white diamond weighing 19 carats, replacing the Swarovski crystal that normally inhabits the space.
The bottle was created for an unnamed private client. The label is also hewn from 18-carat solid white gold and is engraved with the client’s name.
Commissioned to create the one-of-a-kind bottle was Alexander Amosu, no stranger to pimping out other objects like iPhones and BlackBerrys.
In 2009, the designer from the UK also set a Guinness World Record for creating the most valuable suit. Made from gold thread, Himalayan pashmina, qiviuk and vicuna, the bespoke men’s suit took more than 80 hours and 5 000 stitches to create.
Meanwhile, inside the diamond-studded Goût de Diamants Brut Diamond bottle is a blend of Grand Cru Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier that offers a floral, refreshing and creamy texture and ends with a light and elegant finish, says the champagne maker.
It’s not the first time a winemaker has slapped a rare gem onto a bottle to ratchet up the value of its bubbly.
Champagne De Watère encrusted a one-carat diamond into a 24-carat gold coin embossed with the house's emblem which was then attached to the bottom of the bottle.
