Unusual bottle and amazing price: R $ 337 thousand for 750 mL of wine (Image source: Penfolds)

Seeing the bottle of wine above, the first question that came to mind was: How do you open it? We really don't have much class. But the fact is that only a dozen people around the world will have the elegance, money and agility to buy a unit of 2004 Block 42, a wine that has now come into history as the most expensive in the world and has a limited circulation of 12 units.

Costing around R $ 337 thousand (without import taxes), the drink produced by the Australian Penfolds winery is made from grapes harvested from a single vineyard, considered the oldest in the world to produce Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Each of these ampoules - which look more like a futuristic weapon to kill vampires - has 750 ml of the favorite drink of the god Bacchus.

Update: How to open the bottle

Do you think that after spending more than 300 thousand reais, the buyer needs to worry about opening a bottle of wine? When deciding to make use of your purchase, a Penfolds senior winemaker travels to the customer and performs the opening ceremony of this jewelry. For this purpose, a specially developed artifact made of silver and tungsten is used.

For tasting, the professional presents the wine in a tambuladeira, a kind of small shell made of silver, formerly used by wine experts. And if so much luxury does not please your taste buds, try a more scientific wine, such as Meteorite, produced with the help of a real aerolite, which crashed to Earth about 6, 000 years ago.
