An Australian winery has unveiled 12 bottles of a rare vintage for sale at an eye-watering price of Aus$168,000 (U.S. $170,350) each, which can only be opened by a specially trained wine expert.
The wine is held in a unique hand-blown glass “ampoule” designed to provide the ideal environment for the liquor, and this is suspended inside a bespoke glass container which sits inside a wooden cabinet.
“It is our understanding this is one of the most expensive Australian wines released in this unique format,” said Penfolds spokeswoman Ildi Ireland on June 29.
