Lipstick mark wine glasses by Sylvie Fleury
Riddle me this: It's drank at almost every special occasion and no occasion is complete without it. Stumped? It's champagne of course. What makes this drink the go to for ladies who brunch, rappers, and everyone in between is the delightful bubbles that tickle and tease as one sips a fine flute of it. Whether you are a champagne aficionado or a complete novice to champagne, one cannot deny the elegance and refined taste a good bottle of can be.
Rappers like Jay-Z and P. Diddy introduced Cristal and Dom Perignon champagnes to pop culture fanatics back in the '90s in music videos like 'Big Pimpin' and 'It's All About the Benjamins." Since then, the MTV and BET generations, now equate class and status with the ability to purchase $350 bottles of champagne. Can most people tell the difference between a $10 bottle of champagne and $350 bottle of champagne? Absolutely!
While some might call it nouveau riche to obsess over certain over commercialized champagnes, the simple truth remains that an expensive bottle usually yields better taste and can even bolster confidence.
Dom Pérignon commissioned Swiss Pop artist Sylvie Fleury to create a wine glass to fête its Rosé Vintage 1998. Each crystal glass is signed and hand painted with a whimsical red lipstick smudge. The limited edition glasses are available in stores now for $600, and come with a bottle of the Rosé Vintage 1998. Only 999 sets of coffrets are being sold worldwide.
Fleury's lipstick smudge imprint on the limited edition glasses sexy and playful. Just like a good glass of champagne should be. So while A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, champagne will be my constant best friend.
