10 Most Expensive Wines: A Connoisseur's Fantasy

Sokolin claimed that it wasn’t until after he had sat down to dinner at the Four Seasons restaurant, did he realise that the guests of honour were the owners of the wine that he was trying to sell on their behalf. He claims he wandered to himself why the wine should be in a dark cellar when it could be at the party. He took a taxi back to his apartment, retrieved the wine, and rushed back to the restaurant where he began to show it around.

At the end of the evening, a waiter bumped into the table, causing the bottle to fall to the ground and smash. Fortunately, Sokolin had the bottle insured for $225,000, a sum that the insurance company did pay out making it the most expensive bottle of wine sold outside of a charity auction.
