World’s Largest Bottles Of Bubbly Come In Giant Aerospace-Grade Steel Forms

Those looking for a bottle of champagne that won’t run out can turn their attention to ‘Zeus’, the world’s largest bottle of bubbly created by Luc Belaire. Named after the ruler of the Greek Gods, the 45-liter (11.8-gallon) beverage is the equivalent of 60 standard servings of alcohol.

According to the brand, one person won’t be sufficient for the job, and it’ll probably take at least three people to even pop, carry, and pour the bottle, considering it stands over 3.5 feet tall and weighs 160 pounds when filled to the brim. Each bottle contains three billion—yes, billion—bubbles.

The gargantuan bottle took over seven years to craft, with aerospace engineers making use of a never-before-seen process involving spin forming, machining, internal coating, powder coating, and pressure testing to create the packaging.

Calling it a “masterpiece of metalworking skill and creativity,” Luc Belaire explained that the hefty steel form helps to insulate and protect the wine from extreme temperature and, more importantly, ensures that ‘Zeus’ is nearly unbreakable.

Only two bottles are available in the world, one of which is filled with Belaire’s signature Rare Rosé—a French sparkling wine—while the other comprises Luc Belaire Luxe, the popular demi-sec vinted at the brand’s winery in the heart of Burgundy, France.

While not everyone will be able to shell out for the extraordinary offering, photo opportunities with the giant bottles will be available as both flavors undertake a global tour. This will begin in the US, where lucky fans can try their hand at lifting the bottle via a bespoke pulley system.
