The world’s priciest wine club debuts

Oct 19, 2017

(NYPost) - The oldest wine store in the US on Thursday uncorked what is likely the most expensive wine club in the world — one that will run you $15,600 a year.

That’s $325 a bottle.

After getting hit with the super-sized bill, you might need a good drink.

Acker Merrall & Condit, which has been in business in Manhattan for 197 years, is hoping there are enough wine lovers with a deep affection for the grape — and equally deep pockets.

The fee shocked even industry insiders.

“I don’t know of any wine club that has a $325 bottle,” said Kevin Zraly, author of Windows of the World Complete Wine Course.

Zraly oversees the Sherry Lehmann wine club — where the most expensive bottle is $50.

“We’ve talked about going to $100 a bottle,” Zraly confided.
