Russo-Baltique Vodka
A mere £900,000 for this absolute work of art bottle made in the form of a car radiator to mark the 100th anniversary of the Russo-Baltique Motor Car Company. The first ever bottle made with gold coins from 1908 to 1912 that signified the manufacture of the company’s first motor vehicle was presented to Prince albert of Monaco at the Top Marquees Exhibition in Monaco. The bottle top is pure white and yellow gold with the Russian Imperial Eagle decorated with diamonds. The bottle is of bullet-proof glass covered in a gold layer. In the popular TV series, House of Cards, the Russian President gave vodka drinking tips to the American President with the famous Russo-Baltique Vodka featured in its full glory. In another incident, while on display in the Copenhagen Vodka Museum a bottle set was stolen but the empty bottle was later found on a building site, the thief must have been too drunk to cash in on this work of art and forgot the bottle worth almost a million pounds.
