The Most Expensive Wine in the World $ How Much & WHY!?

Показать описание
The story behind the most expensive wine in the world.
Reportedly, the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold in the world was a 6-liter flask of 1992 Screaming Eagle, sold at auction back in 2000, while the wine wasn’t even 10 years old. If you’re wondering why, we’ll get to it in a minute. First what is Screaming Eagle?
Screaming Eagle is California's original cult wine. It is produced in very small quantities 500 to 850 cases per year( 6 to 10 thousand bottles), from a small vineyard in Napa's Oakville appellation. The is made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon-and sells upon release for upwards of $3000 a bottle. It is the most expensive wine made in the United States.
Screaming Eagle was established by owner Jean Phillips in 1986, but he was initially selling grapes to other Napa wineries and he made his first wine under the Screaming Eagle label in 1992.
So that record-breaking bottle of wine was of the first vintage, before the estate became famous, making it extremely rare.
Famous wine critic Robert Parker rated this first vintage at 99 points out of 100, starting the cult status of the wine which has since then been scored the perfect 100/100 points for 1997 and 2007 vintages.
The wine was sold at auction explaining perhaps that it sold for 500 thousand dollars (half a million, $500,000)!
