While the drinks provided aren't anything crazy, the prices are.
The prices for bottles start at R29,000 ($1,500) for a 750ml bottle of Dom Pérignon Brut which would usually cost you around R5,000 in SA.
However, the most expensive drink on the list is a package called the "F*ck You Money" bottle package.
