How to Complete

3 steps curated by Wine Memories

1. ⛰️ 1

   Book a Space or Zero-G Flight

   adventure $$$$

   Virgin Galactic suborbital flights cost $450,000 and include champagne celebrations upon landing. For a more accessible option, Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G) offers weightless flights with champagne for around $8,200. ZERO-G flights launch from various US cities and include 15 parabolic maneuvers.

   🔄 BACKUP: Spaceport America tours ($75) let you see where space tourists launch without going yourself.

   Experience Weightless Champagne

   wine $$$$

   Maison Mumm developed Mumm Grand Cordon Stellar specifically for zero gravity - it uses a special foil cap that releases champagne in concentrated spheres that float in mid-air. On ZERO-G flights, champagne floats toward you. On Virgin Galactic, the celebration happens after landing. Either way, you're drinking bubbles at the edge of human experience.

   🔄 BACKUP: Watch videos of zero-G champagne online if the $8,200+ price tag is prohibitive.

   Toast at Spaceport America

   Optional

   adventure Free

   Visit Spaceport America in New Mexico (the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport). The Gateway to Space building is where Virgin Galactic astronauts celebrate. Even without flying, you can tour the facility and toast to humanity's champagne future. The desert setting is surreal.

   🔄 BACKUP: Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida also has champagne celebrations for SpaceX viewers.
