Priced at €4,166 (or US$6,485) per bottle, this 12-bottle limited edition set of Perrier-Jouet champagne, pops into the record books as the world’s most expensive bubbly.

According to French drink firm Pernod-Ricard, a complete set of 12 will be sold at €50,000, and is targeted at a “super-rich” global elite. Only 100 of these champagne sets will be produced.

Prospective buyers will have the chance to personalize their own champagne after a one-on-one meeting with Perrier-Jouet’s cellar master Herve Deschamps at Epernay, France.

They will then personally add a 'liqueur' (a combination of sugar and wines from different years) to customize their bottles of 2000 Belle Epoque champagne. Buyers can opt to keep their champagne in Perrier-Jouet's cellars for eight months.

A limited edition of three-liter Dom Perignon champagne holds the previous record when it sold for €12,000 (or US$18,526) in 2005.
