World’s most expensive wine


Wine is one of the most popular tasty alcoholic drinks. In many areas, the notion “wine” and all its synonyms in are protected by law, as many other beverages similar to this drink can be produced from fruits, rice, flowers and even honey.
High-quality and sometimes super-expensive wines are often the costliest item on the menu and consequently in your bill, as best vineyards may sell it for thousands of dollars per bottle. You should know that expensive red wines with their complex delicacy are traditionally more expensive than other expensive wines.
The most expensive bottle of wine ever sold was one of 1787 Chateau Lafite which sold at Christie Auction in London in December, 1985 for about US $160,000. The wine was told to be from the cellar of the former US President Thomas Jefferson and this most expensive bottle of wine had the initials Th.J engraved on the glass of the bottle.
Chateau Lafite is a famous winery located in the village of Pauillac in France. The majority of the vines of this winery were planted around 1680. Jefferson first tasted the wine when he was in France but continued to be a customer of these expensive Bordeaux wines throughout all his life.
It would be interesting to know how long the $160,000 bottle will stay the most expensive bottle of wine.
