What's the most you've ever spent on a

[papercorn2000]

The best ones I have at the moment:

1996 Chateau Montrose
2004 (I think) Chateau Palmer
1998 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Damme
2004 Ornellaia Bolgheri IGT

Hmmm, you do realise that come the revolution...

Ah well...

Mind you, I have to admit that I bought 2 bottles of dessert wine for Xmas about 5 or 6 years ago costing about £25 each. Had one bottle that Xmas. It was soooo nice that I haven't yet come across an occasion special enough to merit opening the second bottle!

Can't remember what it was called. It was from the Langedoc but I'd have to get off my arse to go find out what it is exactly.

£3.95 for a bottle of Buckfast from my local corner shop. In the summer he has them in the chiller cabinet for the pricely sum of £4

I bought a bottle of Henchkie mount Edlestone recently at £45......I have also bought a magnum of Chateau Latour for £200......last christmas

 

[HLaB]

Can't remember the actual cost but I bought a mate a $30au bottle and another mate a 15euro one. Both must of been around £10, I think they were red wines but I can't remember.

Hmm... I would guess a Muscat de Rivesaltes, or a Banyuls Blanc. Actually, the most interesting Languedoc dessert wine I've had was a couple of years back and was not actually that expensive - a Domaine de Montahuc Muscat de Saint Jean de Minervois... plenty of zing as well as the usual honey.

As you can guess, I am a big Languedoc fan (and go for biodynamic producers a lot - they are crazy but they do make good wines).

Can't remember for wine, but 50 EUR for a bottle of beer

Eschezeaux - about 48 euros from this place that I'm going to this Friday - again . Also, Vosne Romanee - assorted dates but mostly I like to glug and nuance is wasted on me.
Callabriga is about fifteen squid a bottle and that would be my top mark - nice drink though!

Chin chin!

At that price, it's comforting to know that they will give you 20 cents back for returning your bottle!

BTW, can any beer be that good?

I don't know FM (I haven't tried it yet), but I don't see why not in principle. In terms of complexity, it could certainly measure up against an equivalently priced wine.

The beer in question is a gueuze, a type of lambic. Give it a go when you're next in Belgium!

About £60 for a Tokaji Aszu

Did that beer not go out with one of the cheeky girls?

I remember buying two bottles of Penfolds Grange many years ago for £25 each, a few years later, I sold them for £185.00 each to Farr Vintners who are a wine broker!

I don't drink and have never bought any.
I did win a bottle of wine once, though, playing pub skittles. Gave the bottle to a mate who was more than grateful.
