The creator of this extravagance is the Italian chef Walter Martino, who lives in Ibiza and is specialized in catering for the billionaires visiting the island (among his clients we can find the Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz Fahd bin Al Saud).

Here it comes this powerful wine

Martino became famous last year when it became trending topic that Sheikh Abdul Aziz tipped him a million euros after a dinner.

The bottle arrived in Ibiza in July surrounded by tight security measures and for a week it’ll tour the island to be exposed in the three restaurants that gather more billionaires on the island: Dos Lunas, Cipriani and the new local the designer Roberto Cavalli has opened.

You cannot drink or buy it

The curious public can look closely at the bottle but they won’t be able to taste its content or even buy it. “Right now I’m not selling it. Now, it’s almost like my son“, said the chef Walter Martino.

It’s ironic they put glasses when they won’t even open it

“There are many curious who come and ask for the price, but then they are shocked when we tell them it costs €1.7 million”, says Massimo Lucarioni, the Two Moons restaurant owner, who admits, though, that there would be now a possible buyer: “A Russian client said he would be interested in buying the bottle, but we have told him we will put him on the waiting list. The bottle will not be sold until 2015″.

Ibiza is not the only stop of this curiosity , which will start a tour traveling for a year all around the world, and including cities such as Las Vegas, Sao Paolo and Dubai to return once again to Ibiza.

With the price of 1.7 million euros, L’Oro di Bacco has smashed the previous record of the world’s most expensive bottle, which was the Gôut de Diamants, 1.2 million€ champaigne that contains diamond dust in its interior.

Loser

This British lady, who runs a fashion boutique for dogs, prepared this special celebration taking into account many, many details. She spent 20,000€ ($28.6543) in different things, including the decoration of the tent where the ceremony was held. And not any tent, but one raised in the gardens of a mansion in Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex (London).

God bless this couple!

She also spent, according to local newspapers (which will be hardly taken seriously again!),a good amount of money in decorative flowers, security guards and the rental of this exclusive mansion. Imagine how bad our luck is for not having this woman as our mom if we tell you only the wedding dress cost about $1,500! It’s the most expensive wedding in Great Britain, the media reported.

Lola being nervous before her wedding

“I just wanted Lola to have the perfect day. This was supposed to be a relatively small event, with 30 people at most, but the list was getting bigger (80 people attended the party)”, said Harris to the media. “The day was perfect from the beginning to the end!,” she added.

Lola, her 6 years old doggie, married a popular canine: Mugly, a Chinese dog who was recently awarded with the “ugliest dog in the UK” title in 2005.

The happy couple playing together

How come so? Louise organized an online contest on her DivaDogs website and on Facebook to find the perfect husband for her dog. Against all logic she received hundreds of profiles for potential pretenders. “I didn’t think Lola would like him (Mugly). She’s a little diva, so I thought she would prefer a dog more like her. But they say opposite poles attract and they were happy playing together”, she added speaking of the day the dogs met for the first time.
