It is a world record for the sum paid just for a bottle of white wine. Just imagine how much is a teaspoonful of it. Bottle of white wine sets world record price | Reuters

I'm not a fan of d'Yquem. I turn it down even when it's free.

Anyone paying even a hundred dollars for a bottle of wine is a wasteful fool trying to feed their own ego.

I pay more than that, and it has nothing to do with ego. I collect wine, and if you buy smart a $250 bottle is worth $400 three years later, a $12 bottle of white zinfandel is worth $2 a year later. A good collector can buy using a scheme where they buy, age, and then sell and make enough to cover the cost of their annual personal consumption--and I'm not talking personal consumption of Two Buck Chuck.

I'm not quite to the point of covering my entire annual consumption from resale profits, but I'm getting there. And the average price of my consumed bottles over the past year or so is $60.

I was referring to consumption, but yeah I'd consider your $60/bottle wine habit pretty wasteful use of money too. What is that a dollar a sip? Crazy.

I can afford it, so why does it matter?

change that to $12.00 and forget the other 000s and it is almost in my budget.
