An interesting article found on the BBC:

Here's the original article of its discovery: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-10673322

$35,000 ? Personally, I would never pay more that $30 for a bottle of champagne. But that's just me. :-)

While I've definitely (and gladly!) paid more than $30 for a bottle of champagne, $43K (I think it was 35,000 euros) is a bit out of my price range.

I bet it was freaking great, though!
