Luc Belaire has released the world’s largest bottle of bubbly

Extremely limited in production, only two bottles of Belaire ZEUS have been produced

The bottle was seven years in the making, crafted by aerospace engineers using a procedure never undertaken before

Luc Belaire has created the world’s largest bottle of bubbly, dubbed ‘ZEUS’ after the supreme ruler of the Greek gods.

At 45lt (the equivalent of 60 standard bottles of Belaire), Belaire ZEUS is the largest bottle of bubbly currently available. Its form stands at more than 3.5ft in height and weighs 160 pounds when full, requiring the strength of three people to carry and pour.

The bottle was seven years in the making, crafted by aerospace engineers using a procedure never undertaken before: a process of spin forming, machining, internal coating, powder coating and pressure testing. Its steel form both insulates and protects the wine from extreme temperature.

Extremely limited in production, only two bottles of Belaire ZEUS have been produced. One is filled with Belaire’s signature Rare Rosé, a unique French sparkling wine which has become America’s No.1 Rosé**. The second contains Luc Belaire Luxe; both of which are vinted at its winery in Burgundy.

Belaire’s iconic bottles have, until now, been produced up to an impressive 15-liter size, known as a Nebuchadnezzar. The brand’s large format bottles have become the go-to for celebrities, influencers, recording artists and athletes across the globe to celebrate career milestones, album launches and championship wins.
