Zero Gravity Champagne: The Edge of Space

Champagne in zero gravity

Space tourists return to Earth to champagne celebrations. Virgin Galactic flights from Spaceport America end with toasts at the terminal. Zero-G flights offer weightlessness and champagne floating in mid-air. Maison Mumm designed a champagne bottle for zero gravity (Mumm Grand Cordon Stellar) and sent it to the International Space Station in 2025. The final frontier now includes bubbles.

What to do there

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.

Maison Mumm developed Mumm Grand Cordon Stellar specifically for zero gravity - it uses a cap that releases champagne in concentrated spheres that float in mid-air. Nine years in the making, it went to the International Space Station in June 2025 on Axiom Mission 4, and came home in July. On a ZERO-G flight, 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.

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.
