The methuselah of 1996 Rosé Gold, was sold at a top London hotel to a man believed to be a Russian billionaire.
Irrespective of his nationality the buyer certainly has a fiar bit of cash, he left an £10,625 tip on top of the £4,375 service charge.
But while that should have worked out to £1,562.50 per glass, it didn't.
That's because the rich but butter-fingered buyer spilled THREE glasses less than a minute after buying the bottle.
While other Champagnes have sold more at auction, the Rosé Gold is believed to be most expensive single bottle ever bought from a bar.
It was sold at the Westbury Hotel on Tuesday night at a VIP after-show party following the gala screening of new British comedy, 'Boogie Woogie'.
Bar manager Elias Yiallouris said: "Dom Pérignon is famed for being the 'first' or 'stars' Champagne', but Rosé Gold is the finest of all its brands - the champagne of kings. "
The 1996 vintage is regarded as one of the finest in the 20th-Century and with only 35 bottles produced per year, its incredibly rare and sought-after.
