$230,000 could buy you a brand new Ferrari Italia or 2 weeks at the Ritz in Paris. You could spend it on a bottle of Dalmore 64, the world’s most expensive whisky and still have $70,000 in change to spare. Instead a private Asian bidder decided to spend it on a bottle of Bordeaux at an auction in Hong Kong. The astonishing price gave Chateau Lafite’s 1869 vintage instant headlines and the distinction of the world’s most expensive bottle of wine.
