Watch a Drone Deliver Champagne to an Alpine Bar

by Hillary Dixler Canavan
Hillary Dixler Canavan is Eater's restaurant editor and the author of the publication's debut book, Eater: 100 Essential Restaurant Recipes From the Authority on Where to Eat and Why It Matters (Abrams, September 2023). Her work focuses on dining trends and the people changing the industry — and scouting the next hot restaurant you need to try on Eater's annual Best New Restaurant list.

Here's a nifty video that shows an unmanned drone delivering champagne to a group of folks enjoying après ski at a newish wine bar high up in the Swiss Alps. According to Wine's Up (in French), champagne vendor Plus de Bulles and the restaurant Les Ruinettes partnered to open the bar at the Verbier resort this past December and claim it is the highest champagne bar in all of the world at about 1.4 miles above sea level. Alas, the champagne-copter appears to be a one-time-only stunt and not a new service technique. Go, watch:
