How cool are these bottles?! I just received a pack of six of them in the mail as a thank-you gift (thank YOU to the person who was thanking me), and have to say it was tough to pop the cork on a few of them last night with friends, but we managed. It was tough because they're so cool-looking you just want to keep them around to, well, look at. But alas, like so many good things in life, these beasts just weren't meant to last.
The bottles are part of the POP Art line by Pommery Champagne, which commissions a new artist each year to create something totally unexpected on a Champagne mini. This year - the third for the endeavor - Japanese artist Takahiro Okawa created the POP Safari collection, which includes the "skins" of the likes of zebras, jaguars, giraffes, crocodiles, tigers and (wild?) cows.
Very limited. Insanely cool-looking.
I can't seem to track down the Safari collection, but another (frankly less cool!) collection is up for $60 for a six-pack at Wine.com.
