It took 11 magnum bottles (16,5 litres) to fill this

At a recent festival known as The
White Night, which is an annual celebration of wine
in Spoleto,
Italy, for all those who can hold their liquor, the
world’s largest champagne glass made its debut.
The Asti spumante is produced in Piedmont; actually
in a smaller area which includes only 52 municipalities; 9
in the province of Alessandria, 27 in the province of Asti;
16 in the province of Cuneo. Ten hectares divided into four
areas: Santo Stefano Belbo, Canelli, Nizza Monferrato, Acqui
terme. June 30, 2008
