Andy Warhol was a big fan of Dom Perignon Champagne.......So much that he and 19 of his friends made a plan to buy 2,000 bottles of Dom Perignon, keep them in a sealed room and pop the 2,000 bottles to ring in the new millennium. Andy Warhol wrote of the Champagne plan in his diary on March 8th, 1981. The sealed room of Dom Perignon has never been been found and the other 19 members have never been identified.
It makes me wonder whether the plan was ever carried out, or possibly the other people in the pack drank the champagne when Andy Warhol died. If the room with 2,000 bottles was found it would be a real champagne treasure chest.
Dom Perignon Recently created some limited edition commemorative bottles to celebrate Andy Warhol and his love of Dom Perignon champagne. The bottles hold the 2002 vintage, and have red, yellow, or blue labels to commemorate Warhol's bold use of color. The bottles are going for $150 and are on sale at Sherry-Leiman in New York City
i really want to invest in one of these bottles.
