The most expensive wine ever sold is a bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite which sold at Christie’s London in December, 1985 for £105,00 (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.
What makes for an expensive wine? It's all about the aroma; complex, harmonious flavors; good bones, polished tannins, pleasant acidity, and a long, satisfying aftertaste. Generally speaking, the higher up the quality (and price) ladder you climb, the more pronounced these characteristics become.
