Most Expensive Wines in the World

Very expensive wines can be divided into several main groups. The first group includes elaborately produced wines that are characterized by outstanding Qualität. This is reflected in Langlebigkeit, intense Aromen, and special Komplexität. Reasons for this include selective Handlese, long aging in oak barrels, and the special Terroir of the growing regions. The expertise of renowned wineries, the selection of special Rebsorten, special blending techniques (Cuvée), and the Jahrgang also play an important role. Also included are so-called Garagenweine, which are produced in small quantities using elaborate methods. Such wines often cost several hundred euros per bottle, and for special vintages, the price can increase to five or ten times that amount.
