Worlds Largest Champagne Fountain

At 43,000 glasses and counting, an attempt is underway of the free-flowing bubbly to break the world record for the ‘Largest Champagne Fountain’ in the Wijnegem shopping center near Antwerp — we’re assuming Belgium.

The 22.9 foot (7 meter) high pyramid of glasses weighing 19,590 pounds (8,750 kilos) will attempt to break the record held by Luuk Broos, director of Maison Luuk-Chalet Fontain.

Luuk’s 56-story champagne fountain was made from 30,856 traditional long-stem glasses at the Steigenberger Kurhaus Hotel in Scheveningen, Netherlands on December 30 1999.
