Do we know which is the most expensive wine in the world? Before we must take into account a few considerations. It is not the same to speak of historical wines that are only obtained in auctions celebrated for few people, that pay a high price for a wine, that can do it to anyone who has that money. Therefore, to know the most expensive wine in the world, we must narrow the scope to which it refers.
Consequently, we are going to refer to the ordinary commercial sphere, without entering the private collections, or those sold at auctions.
What is the most expensive wine in the world?
The most remarkable besides the quality of the wine, are factors that must be known:
- Age of the strains
- Type of grape
- Volume of production
- Number of vintages in the market and its number of bottles
- Design and presentation of the bottle.
- Price
