Expensive Wines

The joy of collecting wine at auction -- and paying well over $100,000 for a bottle -- doesn’t come from the anticipation of drinking the world’s oldest and finest vintages, but from the pride and joy of collecting some of the rarest bottles in the world. It should be noted that very few bottles of excellent wine are still drinkable beyond the 50-year mark, so if you do purchase an old bottle, it might be purely for the benefit of your collection.

That said, this is not a list of the most expensive bottles of wine ever, but of the most expensive wines that are still commercially available, if not a little difficult to find.

Note: All amounts of money are in U.S. dollars and were evaluated on the basis of a 750 ml bottle.
