Very expensive wines can be classified into several main groups. The first group includes elaborately produced wines that are characterized by outstanding quality.

Reasons for this include selective hand harvesting, long aging in oak barrels, as well as the special terroir of the growing regions. The expertise of renowned winemakers, the selection of special grape varieties, special blending techniques (cuvée), and the vintage also play an important role.
