What are the most expensive wines?

Having been tasting wine, most of the wines you usually see on the shelves are inexpensive ranging from $50 to a couple of hundreds. As I was reading about wine, I came across articles on expensive wines that can cost more than $100,000. Wow! I cannot imagine that! Expensive wine was traded way back many years ago.

For instance in 1997, it was mentioned that a Jeroboam (5 lovely litres 5 bottles) of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945 was sold at Christie's London for $114,614

At Sotheby's London in 2001, the 1775 Sherry from the Massandra collection was traded for $43,500.

Six hundred bottles of Chateau Mouton- Rothschild 1982 was sold at $420,000.

In 2000, three bottles of Screaming Eagle 1994 was for $11,500 at Christie's Los Angeles, amounting to about $3,833 per bottle.

After all, paying hundreds for a bottle of wine is not too expensive right?
