Wednesday. 10 February. 2010. 9:59 am

Enjoy some amazing champagne with Winebuzz.hk just in time for CNY.

Excuse us for this really big image of Luxor Brut champagne, but we need it that size so you can see the real 24 Carat Gold flakes swimming around inside in what must be the most decadent bottle of champagne you are going to see as we enter the Year of the Tiger!

Winebuzz.hk in co-operation with Bacchus Asia have ten 75 cl bottles of this rare champagne left to buy by the end of business on Friday, so we can get it to you before the Lunar New Year.

There are only 1,000 bottles of this unique champagne made a year, enjoyed by the likes of Mickey Rourke, Christian Audigier and Tony Parker. It’s a sure-fire conversation starter at your Chinese New Year party and can be yours at a very special price!
