Our favorite freaky-deaky Dutch fashion duo Viktor & Rolf may have debuted their own champagne for Christmas gifting last year, but the limited edition continues to linger in the windows over at House of Cheers on West 18th Street and 8th Avenue.

If you're paying $100 a bottle for the upside-down Rosé Sauvage, just pray it won't be one of these five bottles sitting in the sun. According to the V+R website, the Piper-Heidsieck (ha! pronounced Hideseek) cuvée combines "the fruity flavour of the morello cherry, citrus, mandarin and the richness of a region." Sounds awesome, but how would one go about drinking such an upside-down luxury beverage? Well, one could start by paying out more cash for the matching upside-down flute and ice bucket. Compare it to other bubbly designs from Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Newson, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karim Rashid (et al.), and it's definitely the only one inspired by actual insobriety.
