Wine - Most Expensive Wines by Category of All Time
                           
Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of
unmodified grape juice. The natural chemical balance of grapes is such
that they ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or
other nutrients. Wine making has been around for centuries and wine
collections can be worth millions of dollars. At auction one bottle was
sold for $160,000, however at a charity event a bottle was sold for
$500,000. Below we present the most expensive wines by category of all
time.

1) Chateau Lafite 1787

- sold at Christie's London in 1985 for $160,000. This wine bottle was purchased for a private collection and prominently features the initials of Thomas Jefferson etched into the glass. This practice was not unusual in the 18th century when large purchases were made directly from the Chateau.
