5 Most Expensive Wines In The World
4. Chateau Lafite (1787) priced at $160,000
We were quite taken aback to know that this wine is from American President Thomas Jefferson’s collection. Here’s an interesting thing about this expensive wine. Even though it has already turned into vinegar because of excessive aging, it was sold in London for a hefty price of $160,000, as a collectible.
5. Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam (1945) priced at $ 114,614
Sommeliers consider this wine to be of an extremely rare and classic vintage quality. It was auctioned in Christie’s in 1997. There’s a unique symbol of ‘V’ on this bottle which signifies victory, meaning the end of the Second World War.
“Dorothy, do you know a little secret about all these vintage wines that fall in the list of the most expensive wines of the world?”, Leila quizzed her. “The ones we read about may well be the world’s most expensive wines, but they’re not drinkable” she said. “What are you saying?”, said Dorothy, who couldn’t believe what she heard. “Yep, when they go beyond 50 years, they become undrinkable and turn into vinegar. The reason why they’re so expensive is because of their scarcity value and the grapes that they are made from.
Wow, that’s a new fact for us too, isn’t it friends?
