World’s Priciest Vodka Bottle, Worth $1.3 Million, Was Just Stolen
One of the priciest vodka bottles in the world has recently been stolen from a collection, and the bar it was at is calling for help to get it returned.
CCTV footage obtained by BBC shows a thief breaking into the vodka collection at Bar 33 in Copenhagen and making off with a bottle of Russo-Baltique. The special spirit is stored in what some claim to be the world’s priciest vodka bottle. It’s made with 6.6 pounds each of gold and silver, NewsMag4 reports, and the cap is encrusted with diamonds that bring the bottle’s value to about $1.3 million US Dollars.
The bottle, which was featured on House of Cards, is the only one of its kind on the planet. It was made specially for car company Russo-Baltique as part of a celebration of the centenary of their factory.
Bar 33’s owner, Brian Ingberg, told TV2 that the bottle had been on loan for the past six months from Latvia’s Dartz Motor Company. Dartz owner Leonard Yankelovich told the BBC that he’s hopeful he’ll get the bottle back.
To help with that process, Bar 33 has sent out a plea for help on their Facebook page featuring the vodka collection. Copenhagen police have also been notified of the burglary and are investigating, the New York Times reports.
