Rare Dom Pérignon Made for Charles and Diana’s 1981 Wedding to Be Auctioned in Denmark on Dec. 11

The Copenhagen sale carries a 500,000–600,000 kroner estimate for one of just twelve magnums produced for the royal nuptials.

Overview

  • Bruun Rasmussen will offer the bottle in a suburb of Copenhagen, listing a Dom Pérignon Vintage 1961 with special wedding labeling.
  • Expected bidding is roughly €67,000–€80,000, according to the auction house.
  • The magnum is owned by an anonymous private collector who bought it from a London wine dealer.
  • The house’s wine expert Thomas Rosendahl Andersen says the champagne has been inspected and is still drinkable.
  • Comparable bottles have had uneven results, including a no-sale in 2004 in the UK and a roughly €10,000 sale in 2005, underscoring uncertain demand.
