The hilarious moment a man gleefully uncorks a $250 bottle of champagne - only for it to slip from his hand and shatter on the ground has been captured in excruciating slow motion.

An Instagram user posted the video on Saturday showing a young man at an afternoon house party getting ready to uncork a 3000ml bottle of Mumm Cordon Rouge NV Jeroboam.

The video shows the man gripping the large bottle with one hand on the bottom while he uses the other to uncork the top-shelf champagne.

The hilarious moment a reveler dropped a $250 bottle of Mumm champagne after attempting to uncork it was caught on camera (pictured) and shared to social media

But right as the cork fires out, the bottle begins to fall away from the man because of its weight.

As it slips from his bottom hand, he unsuccessfully tries to save it with his top hand.

Another man sitting nearby then lunges forward in a last-second attempt to help catch the bottle before it hits an outdoor chair before bouncing away from both men.

As all four of their hands miss the bottle completely it falls to the concrete floor and bursts open, sending champagne spraying everywhere.

In the two days since the video was shared it has gained 419,320 views and hundreds of comments.

As the bottle falls the man tries desperately to catch it but he misses it with both hands before a second man (pictured together) tries to help but the bottle manages to miss all four hands

'Double magnum corking kookage,' the caption read.

A number of people were quick to comment on the slow motion bottle drop.

'I’d rather the cork break my nose,' one woman wrote.

'Absolute devastation,' another added.

'Hilarious!!!' a third user chimed in.

There is only a limited number of the three-litre bottles available globally and sthey come in an engraved wooden box for 'safe transport'.
