Just when you think you can’t be more of a basic, average, uninteresting human being, you scroll through your basic, average, uninteresting internet-enabled device and read that Formula One drivers do, in fact, drink celebratory podium champagne from carbon-fiber bottles. Cool deal.
The entire Carbon-branded champagne bottle isn’t solid carbon fiber, as the F1 about it said it’s simply “coated with the same type of carbon fibre used in the manufacture of the Formula 1 cars.” Coating an existing bottle seems like it wouldn’t save much weight or be practical in any way at all, but who needs practicality when you have a ton of money?
No one. The answer is no one.
and report that these 1.5-liter champagne bottles F1 usessell for $3,000 each, and I’ll just have to take their word for it because I believe I might be too “poor” or “lesser” to correctly navigate this company’s and find its pricing. CarScoops also reported that you can get a 6-liter bottle of this stuff for $8,000, or a 15-liter bottle for $50,000. The wealthy, I am learning, must not favor buying in bulk to save money.
In case you felt like watching around $9,000 dissipate over the course of a few seconds on this fine day, here, enjoy yourself. There’s nothing like feeling poor on a Tuesday morning.
At least you can afford internet to watch this stuff with, right?
