Question: I was at a fancy event last night and they were auctioning off wine!. one bottle went for $450!!! what!?!!?!!?
People at my table were poking fun at me because I was completely flabbergasted!. I was trying to think of a social situation I might be in where i could use such a thing but i could not think of one!.

"Its poker night!. Guys put down your 40s!.!.!.I have a treat!."

i guess my question is, what do you do with $450/bottle of wine!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
pee it out 2 hours later!. Just like any other bottle of wine!.

I once went to a restaurant where the wine list had a GLASS of wine that cost more than my CAR!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've waited talbes at a resturant in an airport where guys siting by themselves would order bottles of wine in the 200 - 300 dollar range!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. they just drink it!.

they are live in a world where money is very insignificant since they 1 either have WAY too much of it or 2 the company they work for is willing to take care of them!. sometimes these companies give them a par-diem !. this is money they can spend on food drink and entertainment per day!. sometimes they same up the "allowance" and blow it all at once on a bottle of wine they'd never otherwise have a chance to enjoy!.

usually the wines priced around there are 1 either very rare, or 2 old and aged = smooth!.!.!. the flavors blend together to make a rounder, solider flavor them many distint flavors!.

remember though, wine doesn't HAVE to be expensive to be good!. price is a high indicator on how much the company holds at once (called overhead) compared to the bills they have to pay to stay running!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You enjoy it, you bask in the $450 that's not a VERY expensive bottle, i mean it is but there are MUCH MUCH more expensive wine's out there!. A wine like that, at least for me, would be used to celebrate a wedding, birth of a baby, graduation from college!. ETC!., $450 is miniscule to a real big event!.

Enjoy life while you can, you won't be here for much longer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You have to understand that there are many factors as to why a bottle of wine is expensive!. One of the main reasons why is the age of the wine but also the name!. A $450 bottle of wine is meant to be opened on a special occasion, let it breath first and then drink it slowly and savor its taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's not even that much, I was just reading a Maxim (GREAT MAG) and they have a new beer out that goes for 450 a bottle, 450 for a bottle of beer!!! N e ways, to answer your question, you drink it, get really drunk, then wake up with the worst wine hangover anyone has ever had!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Haha!.

Drink it or save it!.

For the record, an auction of wine can go a LOT higher than that!. In person, I've seen it go up to $5,000, but it gets even higher at better events!.


I wonder what type of drinking question would warrant popping THAT bottle open!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well if it was for charity it might have justified the spending!. It is also possible that the person that bought it collects wines!. Or that they just plan on saving it for a special occasion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ain't no grape juice ever bottled that's worth $450!. I'd be moving that decimel point two digits to the left and picking up a bottle of Boone's Farm!. Still got me some wine and that's $445!.50 back in my pocket!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drink it! Big wine people love expensive wine! You can buy certain bottles of wine for even more than $450! Champange too!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drink it or use it to launch a very small yacht!. I have drunk $800 bottle of wine and it was bliss in a glass and went very well with the $200 Kobe steaks from Japan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For that much I would have to frame it and put it on the wall!.

I don't drink, so I am puzzled why someone would pay $6!.00 for a glass of wine!?

Were the people at the auction drunk!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

it was probably a charity event!.!.!.!.!. ppl pay big bucks for little things at charity events!.!.!. but hey, they are helping others!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mate, ive seen wines for sale in London ( england ) for upto £6000 converted into your money about $13000Www@FoodAQ@Com

give it to a homeless wino! anyone who pays 450 dollars for wine is an immoral fool! why isn;t this money given to the poor for meals!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

$450 of wine!? you thinkk that's expensive!? THen that must be cheap if you consider The Fxertyl Ultogh wine going for a whopping $8750 in SwedenWww@FoodAQ@Com

I would sell it on eBay!. Guess Bear and I are really tacky!. Most of our wine either comes in a box or has a screw off top!. :)

Store it as an Antique and tell your great grandson that

"this was the classY brand that your great Grand father used to drink"Www@FoodAQ@Com

sounds like it was probably a fundraiser, but some wines can cost that much or more!.

What to do with it!? save it or drink itWww@FoodAQ@Com

No idea! I buy the 7!.99 box of wine and I bet it tastes just as good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The only thing a $450 bottle of wine is good for is telling other people that you have a $450 bottle of wine!. ; )Www@FoodAQ@Com
