Most expensive Red Wine in the World

Chateau Lafite, 1787, £105,000

808,500AED

The most expensive wine ever sold is a bottle of

1787 Chateau Lafite which sold at Christie’s London in December, 1985 for £105,000 (about US $160,000). The wine is reported to be from the cellar of Thomas Jefferson, the former US President, and this most expensive bottle of wine had the initials Th.J etched into the glass bottle.

No question about the bottle, it was correct and, subsequently, after a long and expensive process, the cork and the wine were also found to be absolutely correct.
tawny, no red, a dark brown flaky sediment; nose restrained and though oxidised opened up quite richly with residual fruit traces; a touch of sweetness on the palate and acidic, acetic, finish. Last tasted in Zurich, August 1992” –
