Wanderlust and Envy: The £750,000 drinking holiday

Who doesn't love a good cocktail? But while most of us prefer to only be down a few quid (and a little bit of dignity) after a night on the booze, this holiday could well send most of the population into outright bankruptcy. Costing £750,000, it's bound to leave most people with a massive Ouch, as well as a wicked hangover.

The 40-day tour, starting in London and visiting everywhere from Monaco to Dubai, sees travellers sample some of the most exclusive drinks on the planet ranging from just a mere thousand pounds, to prices that could outright buy a house.

The cheapest drink on the tour, a £50 Singapore Sling served in the bar where it was first created (pictured), is a massive contrast to the most expensive; a Scottish Highlands whisky costing a huge £100,000, Penfolds Ampoule red wine costing £110,000,which are both trumped by Armand de Brignac 'Dynastie', the most expensive champagne in the world, costing £330,000.

The trip isn't just about sampling the most expensive and rarest drinks. Punters stay in the finest hotels, such as the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, fly business all the way, and are on guests list to some of the most exclusive bars. As one would expect when shelling out almost a million pounds for a month's worth of travel.

A spokesman from holidaysplease, who curated the trip, Byron Warmington says: “This is the first time that anyone has been able to bring together so many incredible experiences into one trip. Many people quote once in a lifetime holidays, but we think this genuinely is.” It certainly beats a watered-down cocktail from an all-inc trip to Benidorm, doesn't it.

And while most of us will never be able to afford even a sip of the delicacies on offer, here's a list of what's on offer. Well, this is Wanderlust and Envy, after all.
