Champagne Bottle With NFT Artwork sells for $2.5 Million

A bottle of Champagne has sold for $2.5 million, eclipsing the auction record for bubbly and likely becoming the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold.

But there's a fizzy gimmick: the magnum of Chateau Avenue Foch, 2017, comes with a single NFT that includes the digital art and intellectual property rights to an image of "Bored Ape Mutant" and to other collectible cartoon figures that adorn the bottle. (A magnum is the equivalent of two regular-sized bottles.)

NFTs are digital images that trade on the blockchain. The highly speculative market for them peaked in 2021 with $41 billion in sales but has slowed sharply due to the recent slide in cryptocurrencies.

The buyers of the Champagne were brothers Giovanni and Piero Buono. They're Italian investors in cryptocurrencies who are active in the fashion and technology industries. Despite their crypto profile, the purchase was made in dollars, according to the seller. The sale was first reported in The Wall Street Journal.

Shammi Shinh, the British entrepreneur who commissioned and sold the bottle, said he hoped Champagne's fizz may juice the market for NFTs at a time that it, and other financial markets, are substantially off their highs.

"I'm hoping for more awareness — I want people to understand NFTs now," said Shinh. He said that the Champagne, and his collaboration with the artist, Mig, may be the first of a limited-edition.

The "floor price" of a Bored Ape Yacht Club token, the top rank of the Ape collectibles series, has fallen to 93 ethereum, or about $99,501, from an all-time high of 153 eth, or $163,000, set in May, according to website NFT Floor Price.

Chateau Avenue Foch is a new brand. The Premier Cru grapes of the Champagne were grown at Allouchery, a family-owned estate in Chamery.

Giovanni Buono told the Journal that the brothers have no plans to open the bottle.

Their purchase was made privately. In the public market for wine, vintage bottles normally bring in high prices. In 2020, a bottle of the famous Heidsieck 1907 shipwrecked Champagne was sold for $275,000 in Moscow. On its way to the czar in 1916, so the story goes, the shipment was sunk by a German U-boat and recovered by Finnish divers decades later.

As for the priciest wine of any kind at auction, a bottle of Domaine de la Roman��e-Conti was purchased by a collector in 2018 at a Sotheby's sale in New York for $558,000. Only 600 bottles were made of the 1945 Burgundy vintage, which is called "the unicorn vintage."

Mes très cher Followers,

Je viens à vous ce jour car nous rencontrons un réel différent avec la chaine PROPRIO A TOU PRIX (Société SOLLOBY dirigé par Bruno WAITZMANN).

En effet, elle est défaillante et ne respecte pas les termes du contrat signé consensuellement avec de nombreux consultants officiels.

Je vous demande donc d’être vigilant avec cette société sur la signature de nouveau contrat la concernant car elle n’est pas en mesure de les honorer.

J’engage donc une procédure à l’encontre de la SAS SOLLOBY (Immatriculée 879109494) sis 47, rue Marcel Dassault Boulogne-Billancourt 92100 et je me retourne ainsi vers les responsables de la chaine TF1 et TMC pour savoir ce qui va être engagé à leur encontre. Un mail est en cours de traitement.

Nous vous tiendrons informés de la suite dans les prochains jours.

Letter from Princess Grace of Monaco to her friend William "Bill" Allyn dated September 20, 1977, and sent from the Monegasque princely family home in Paris, France (18 Square de L´Avenue Foch. 75116).

Willam Allyn and Princess Grace during the filming of "Once Upon a Time is Now... The Story of Princess Grace" at the Palace of Monaco in 1976.

William Allyn was an actor/producer and friend of Grace’s from her Hollywood days who reconnected with her in the mid-1960s. With her cooperation, he also produced a 1977 NBC documentary on her titled, Once Upon a Time is Now … The Story of Princess Grace. 

Letter transcription below:

Sept. 20th, 1977. Dear Bill It was good to hear from you. Your show on music in the sixties sounds like an overwhelming project but very exciting. I don't really like the idea of changing PATTY-CAKE MAN as it is sort of like trying to let out or take in the seams of a dress. it just never hangs right afterward. I will try to think up an idea on the fashion world with new characters. Incidentally, I recently suggested to Robert Dornhelm a book that I always thought could make an adorable film (in the west of Ireland). He read it and started writing a screen-play which i hope he is finishing in California right now. I asked him to get in touch with you. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get in contact with him just now, but Rupert might. The title is SPANISH GOLD by George A. Birmingham published by Methuen & C. Ltd. London 36 Essex Street, Strand WC2. A delightful tale of searching for a buried Spanish treasure. I naturally have it all cast (in my mind) with Albert Finney, David Niven, and Cryl Cussack. It could be something enchanting. I made the mistake of seeing "Valentino". Poor Rudi Nureyev. He is really quite good but the director should be shot at dawn and hung on the nearest lamppost. No taste, no talent no respect for the era., an outrageous sham which switches from high camp to slapstick and played as if everyone in the audience was deaf. Bitterly dissapointing. Maybe if I took dope I could swallow some of these new directors because they obviously do. I was amused by the car advertisement, particularly as I never owned a Mercedes nor any car in California, I always rented one! The premature announcement of the poetry readings caused the press to exaggerate their importance somewhat, as usual. But It will be a few days in February and the beginning of March, the same kind of thing as in Edinburgh. The article I read made it sound as though I was joining the Royal Shakespeare Co. (as if they'd have me!). If you get to England please give a call. We may get over sometime in October. Some wonderful things going on in the theatre just now. I have yet to see the tapes of our program as our machine was on the blink all summer. Love to you both, Grace.

Excuse my typing.
