Dom Perignon has a well-earned reputation as one of the most exclusive bottles of champagne in the world. It’s the high-end champagne ordered by the super wealthy when it’s time to celebrate. These bottles are expensive, and they’re a status symbol. This luxe bubbly is made of a combination of several different grapes, including pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier. Dom Perignon is manufactured by Moet and Chandon, and it is considered a vintage specialty wine, which means the price continues to rise significantly with each passing day.
