8 Finest Champagnes to Celebrate World Luxury Day

There are ordinary days, and then there is October 8, a date carved into the calendar of connoisseurs worldwide as World Luxury Day, established by the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce (WLCC). It’s a global celebration of craftsmanship, excellence, and innovation for everyone who creates luxury, as well as a celebration of the art of living well for everyone who loves it. What better way to honour such a day than with the sound of a cork flying free and the delicate fizz of champagne in crystal?

World Luxury Day celebrates the art of craftsmanship and exclusivity across high-end industries, including fine wines and champagnes. Producing champagne is an exceptionally delicate process: only grapes from the Champagne region of France are permitted, and the labour-intensive méthode traditionnelle requires secondary fermentation in the bottle, precise temperature control, and years of ageing to develop its signature bubbles and complexity.

Here, curated by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, is a selection of maisons whose names glisten with whispered reverence and that ineffable allure that defines true luxury.

Six consecutive years as the World’s Most Admired Champagne Brand (Drinks International, 2025). A place in the TOP 100 Premium Wine & Spirits Brands (Luxury Lifestyle Awards). Louis Roederer’s reputation precedes itself, carried in every pour of Cristal—a liquid jewel of finesse and sustainability.

For those who believe luxury is eternal, not seasonal.

Each bottle of Grande Cuvée is a symphony of more than 120 wines, spanning over 10 vintages. Recognised among the TOP 100 Luxury Wine & Spirits Brands, Krug does not merely make champagne, it conducts it. With each sip, layers unfold like silk gowns on a Paris runway.

For the hedonists who seek complexity, depth, and drama.

It’s for a very special date, they said, so World Luxury Day is definitely it. Few names evoke the mythology of Champagne quite like Dom Pérignon. The vintage-only maison, famously inspired by the monk who is said to have “tasted the stars,” remains a symbol of luxury’s most dazzling side. Each cuvée, be it Brut Vintage or the luminous Plénitude, is a meditation on time, intensity, and harmony.

For the celebrants who want to toast with nothing less than legend.

Crowned Best Luxury Champagne Brand in France (2024), Marguet is not simply biodynamic; it is deeply soulful. Horses plough the earth, vines breathe freely, and the resulting wines are expressions of purity. In an age where sustainability is the new exclusivity, Marguet’s voice rings clear.

For aesthetes who find luxury in authenticity.

Scoring an enviable 98/100 at the IWSC 2024, Palmer’s Solera Rosé is a dance of fruit, perfume, and subtle spice. Its freshness feels like a weekend in Capri, its elegance like silk slipping through your fingers.

For the modern celebrant who wants their toast to match their stylish attire.

One of the most decorated champagnes across global competitions, Charles Heidsieck is a heritage brand. Each Brut Réserve carries whispers of its chalk-cellared patience, winning accolades year after year.

For those who measure luxury by pedigree and quiet confidence.

Muscular, refined, and unmistakably bold, Bollinger exudes a confidence that is both commanding and effortless. Its bubbles carry a sense of drama, a subtle thrill, and an enduring elegance that makes every sip feel cinematic.

For those who savour luxury with strength and a wink of intrigue.

Nestled in the rolling chalky hills of Champagne, Cramant Grand Cru is where the land speaks through the wine. Its champagnes shimmer with minerality, clarity, and haunting finesse, a delicate reminder that true luxury is born from the very soil beneath our feet.

For terroir purists who want to taste the earth beneath the bubbles.

Creating the world’s finest champagne and ensuring it captures the imagination of connoisseurs everywhere is the work of thousands of dedicated hands. That is precisely what World Luxury Day celebrates. For the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce (WLCC), a global network for luxury brands, this day is not only an invitation to raise a glass of champagne but also a moment to forge collaborations that showcase craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation across industries.

“World Luxury Day unites the industry, elevating its prestige and fostering collaboration. It highlights craftsmanship and heritage, encouraging dialogue on sustainability and innovation. The day helps shape future trends and promotes a more conscious consumer engagement with the world of luxury, becoming an annual anchor for the entire sector.” Alexander Chetchikov, President, WLCC.

From the chalk cellars of Champagne to the ateliers of haute couture and the workshops of visionary artisans, October 8 transforms into a stage where excellence takes centre place. It is a celebration of indulgence, yes, but also of responsibility: a reminder that true luxury is rooted in artistry, built on heritage, and shaped by innovation.
