Most expensive wines in the world

Very expensive wines can be categorised into several main groups. The first group comprises elaborately produced wines that are characterised by outstanding quality. This is characterised by longevity, intense aromas and particular complexity. The reasons for this are selective hand-picking, long maturation periods in oak barrels and the special terroir of the growing regions. The expertise of renowned wineries, the selection of special grape varieties, special blending techniques (cuvée) and the vintage also play an important role. So-called garage wines, which are produced in small quantities using elaborate methods, are also included. Such wines often cost several hundred euros per bottle, and the price of special vintages can rise five or tenfold.
