Video trend
In autumn 2026 a wave of champagne clips spread through short-video apps as AI templates: a bottle popped on a park bench, out of a car window, out of a sunroof. The Champagne Shoot is the loudest of them. A young man in a grey tracksuit sits on the roof of a black G-Class driving down a wet highway at night, sprays a bottle of champagne, drinks, throws the bottle up and shoots it in the air. This page explains what the clip is, why it is called Champagne Shoot and how to tell it apart from the look-alikes.
Oakgen's template is based on a 10-second portrait reel from 1 October 2026 that spread widely on Instagram. It appears AI-made, but we have not confirmed how it was produced, so we do not describe it as filmed or as staged. The preview on the trend page is that reference reel, shown for motion and timing, not an Oakgen result.
An October 2026 round-up of AI video trends lists it as "Champagne Shoot on G Class": popping the bottle on the roof of a black G-Class at night, taking a sip, throwing it and shattering it. We use the short form, Champagne Shoot. You may also see it described as the G-Class champagne clip or champagne on a car roof; those are our descriptions of the scene, not separate trends.
The closest look-alike is a car-window version that circulates as an AI template and is often just called "тренд с шампанским" ("the champagne trend") in Russian: someone leans out of a car window on a night highway and pops a bottle, and in the versions we read about there is no weapon in the frame. In the Champagne Shoot the person sits on the roof, not in the window, and the bottle is shot with a handgun rather than simply bursting.
A park-bench birthday version came earlier and is a different scene: a person on a bench at night pops a bottle, a jet shoots up and the clip turns black and white with "Happy Birthday" on screen. There is also a sunroof version in which someone rises out of an SUV with a bottle and the clip ends on a birthday card. The G-Class reel ends with a "Happy Birthday" title too, which is why it gets lumped in with them.
The template keeps the first 9.5 seconds of the reel and stops one frame before the "Happy Birthday" title fades in, so there is no birthday text in your video. It keeps the highway, the black G-Class and its driver, the grey hoodie and sweatpants, every beat of the stunt including the pistol shot, and the reel's original audio. Your photo replaces the man on the roof.
We could not identify the song. It is a Russian-language track, and Instagram labels the reel's sound only as original audio. We could not confirm how the reel was made. We also have no search volume data for any of these names, and nothing here is a claim about how many people search for them. In your Oakgen video the car is part of a generated, fictional scene; the trend is not connected to or endorsed by the car maker.
Add a photo for the rider.
Upload one clear photo of yourself or of someone who agreed to appear. A sharp, front-facing face with the whole head and hair visible works best; the outfit does not matter.
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video, your photo preparation and three scene preparations.
Watch your face through the spray, your hands on the bottle and the shot, and the driver staying unchanged, then download your portrait MP4 with the original sound.
One photo gives the rider your face, hair and build. The template is built to replace the face from the reel; check it before you share.
The loose light-grey hoodie and sweatpants are the look of the trend, so you wear them whatever your photo shows. Your hair stays your own.
The bottle raise, the pop and spray, the drink, the throw and the shot at the bottle as the car pulls away, on the original sound. The reel's closing "Happy Birthday" title is cut, so you add your own caption.
The preview is the reference reel with its birthday title removed. It is the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result.
It is a 9.5-second portrait AI clip of one person riding on the roof of a moving matte-black G-Class on a wet highway at night. They pop a champagne bottle, spray it into the air, drink from it, throw it high, then shoot the bottle in mid-air with a handgun as the car speeds away under the streetlights. Oakgen's template puts your face and hair on the rider and keeps the look, the car, the road, the stunt and the sound.
From a reel that spread in October 2026, captioned in Russian as a trend for millions of views. TikTok trend lists call it the Champagne Shoot on G Class AI trend.
Yes. In the template the rider fires a handgun once at the bottle in the air, and the bottle bursts. Your Oakgen video is generated fiction: nobody is hurt and the only target is the bottle. How the reference reel was filmed is not confirmed. Never try it for real: riding on a car roof and firing a gun into the air are dangerous and illegal in many places. Some platforms limit videos that show weapons, so check their rules and label your video as AI.
The original reel ends on a "Happy Birthday" title over the highway. Oakgen's template stops one frame before that title fades in, so your video has no birthday text and you can add your own caption, or none, when you post.
The look is part of the trend. Whatever you wear in your photo, the video dresses you in the light-grey hoodie and sweatpants. Your face, hair and build come from your photo.
Yes. Your video keeps the reel's original audio, a Russian-language song over the road noise. Oakgen has not identified the song.
The driver seen through the side window stays as a background person. Only the rider takes your face. The car and bottle are rendered without readable badges, plates or labels.
