Most expensive wine in the world?

The most expensive wine ever sold is a bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite which sold at Christie's London in December, 1985 for £105,00 (about US $160,000). The wine is reported to be from the cellar of Thomas Jefferson, the former US President, and this most expensive bottle of wine had the initials Th.J etched into the glass bottle.

However, upon vintage release in any given year Domaine de la Romanee Conti's flagship "Romanee Conti" is the most expensive wine in the world, easily surpassing $3,000 per bottle at initial sale.
