Cristal is the brand name of a Champagne produced by Louis Roederer. Cristal has a flat-bottomed clear crystal bottle anti-UV cellophane wrapper and gold label. Widespread awareness of its high price has given the wine an image of exclusivity that in turn has elevated demand: it is considered a Veblen good. The most recently released vintages are the 2006 2005 2004 2002 and 2000.
