French Wines

I couldn't imagine picking up this bottle let alone drinking any of it. I'm not even sure if anything tastes that good.
From The Daily News:
A bottle of wine listed at $2,500 should look old, should have a prestigious castle on it and should send the message that, hey, you're paying more than $30 a sip.
Instead, it's a painted goat. Good-bye pre-conceived ideas, and good-bye $2,500 - not that this newspaper would pay that much for the most expensive wine, a 2000 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac, Spare No Expense could find in metro. So I had to enjoy it without, sadly, drinking it.
Costa Elles, co-owner of Seven Wine Bar and Restaurant, which sells the pricey vin rouge, says when buying the bottle, its taste will be described to potential buyers. If you like what you hear and there's nothing wrong with it, congrats, you've just bought a Bordeaux red selling at roughly the same price as two return flights to Paris.
But then 2000, says Elles, is being described as one of the best years ever for Bordeaux wines.
I love that - "one of the best years ever" a, yup, it better be at that price!
