Tower of 39,000 champagne glasses breaks record

A Dutch business man broke the World and the Guinness book records in building the biggest champagne glass tower. Gert-Jan Stock decided to attack the records, using about 35.990 champagne glasses. The old Guinness book record from 1999 was 30.865 glasses.

The building project started from Gert-Jan Stok's wish to improve financial situation of EMMA Hospital, which specialises in treating children with serious diseases such as cancer. The Champagne glasses used in the tower could be bought by visitors and all the revenue went to EMMA hospital for children in Amsterdam.
