The most expensive bottle of wine ever just sold at auction, but why????
There are two main reasons behind the high price of this bottle:
One is that DRC is already the most collectible wine on the entire planet with bottles on the secondary market going for 10s of thousands of dollars. The second reason being is that this is the last vintage before the original DRC vines had to be pulled up and replanted due to a disease that was rampant in Europe. That combo makes this one of be rarest bottles of and already uber rare bottle of wine.
Unfortunately we didn’t have the money to buy it ourselves because we would have loved to open it, but we’re hoping whoever did get it, enjoys it the way it was meant to be enjoyed… in a glass!
