Victoria Beckham spent over 8,000 on champagne in one night last week. The former Spice Girl enjoyed dinner with friends at the Ithaca restaurant in Manchester and her party made its' way through twelve 650 bottles of Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs champagne.
Victoria was treating her management team and 20 perfume consultants to a night out ahead of the launch of her new fragrance 'Signature'. Arnie Hira, owner of the Japanese restaurant, said: "Suffice to say that everyone said they had a great time at the restaurant and said they would definitely come again."
Victoria and her guests ate a selection of fine dishes including Chilean sea bass, Wagyu beef and soft shell crab.
The 34-year-old star - whose soccer star husband David used to play for Manchester United - reportedly chose the eatery after discovering Jay-Z and Kanye West were recent diners The day after her luxury meal, Victoria made an appearance at Harvey Nichols department store in Manchester where she greeted fans and officially launched the new fragrance.
As well as promoting her scent, Victoria also spoke about her new fashion collection, saying: "They're very sexy dresses.
Full-length frocks and bold colours - stuff that makes women feel good. I'm just showing it to a collection of magazine journalists and boutique retailers because I want to start off small and see what the reaction is. I really hope people will like it." The Beckham's 'Signature' brand perfume and aftershave are available now.
