It is also embellished with Swarovski crystals and pewter.

Priced at 2,500 Ethereum, a cryptocurrency, it is being sold online and is expected to be traded several times until the eventual owner can get their hands on the physical bottle.

Shinh said: “This bottle features art from NFT collections that have over a billion dollars in sales.

“I wanted to create something timeless for the modern investor, nothing less of a masterpiece. In order to receive the physical champagne bottle, the buyer will need to burn the NFT.

“The champagne itself is a work of art and unmatched quality.”
