To do this it had to fit constraints regarding its pressure, food compatibility, ergonomics and gas bubbles in the absence of gravity. The bottle now complies with official space requirements, and also respects AOC Champagne regulations, certifying the integrity of the wine. Since then, Laurent Fresnet, Cellar Master at Mumm, has participated in a parabolic flight in an Airbus airliner in order to understand the impact of zero-gravity conditions on the wine. Its half-glass bottle has a long neck topped by a cork and a specially designed stainless steel opening-closing device This was aimed specifically to cater to suborbital and orbital space tourism promoted by private operators like Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin. The first iteration, named Mumm Grand Cordon Stellar, was released in 2018 and was promoted from Usain Bolt. The high-tech bottle is also covered in a protective shell made of aeronautical-grade aluminium. This design means that the liquid only comes into contact with glass and stainless steel, thus ensuring its preservation, according to Mumm. To stop the wine from streaming across the cabin, the release mechanism is locked on by a stainless steel ring.

The futuristic bottle dispenses small spheres of bubbly which astronauts can gulp down as they float in zero-gravity, and is the first bubbly to receive full compliance with space requirements certified by the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES).ĭesigner Octave de Gaulle said: 'This project is, of course, very stimulating because of its highly technological nature and its 100 per cent French identity, from design to manufacturing. The Mumm Cordon Rouge Stellar is the product of five years of development, including zero-gravity testing, from GH Mumm.
