We were in a fancy place last year with similar astronomical prices for wine, $37000 for their top bottle. I asked the waiter if they ever sell that wine, he said not often, but the year before one table of about 8 guys bought 4 bottles to celebrate some deal they had just made. With other drinks and food their bill was about $150000 plus tip. I asked if they paid the normal tip 20%, he said yes and the waiter who served 'em took a week off in Vegas and lost the whole $30000 on wine, women and gambling. Must of been some week.
