People spend a lot of money on clothing, recreation, houses and cars. However, there is one more item of expenses that hits the pocket of many lovers of good rest - this is alcohol. However, rare of these party-goers could afford the most expensive alcoholic drinks in the world.
Most expensive beer
Do you think beer is the most affordable drink? Maybe it is, if we are not talking about the Tutankhamun drink. The first bottle of this beer, named after the legendary Egyptian pharaoh, was sold at auction for $ 7,686. The drink was packed in an elegant wooden box, painted with hieroglyphs.
The secret of this beer is in the original taste and special strength - 25%. However, the beer entered the retail trade at a significantly reduced price - "only" $ 80. Here it gave way to another brand - Vielle Bon Secours, which is sold in the London pub Bierdrome. Only ardent fans can taste this beer, because it costs about $ 1000 per bottle. However, the volume of the bottle is rather big - 12 liters. In this beer you can catch the aromas of anise, lemon and caramel, and almost no alcohol is felt.
The most expensive wine
Wine is one of the most expensive alcoholic drinks. The best wines are made from hand-picked grapes and aged under special conditions. The most expensive red wine was sold to a private collector for $ 90,000. This drink of the Chateau Lafite variety was released in 1787. The first owner of the wine was US President Thomas Jefferson, even his initials remained on the bottle.
The most expensive white wine is the 1811 Château d'Yquem. It was paid for $ 124,000. The price was influenced by the peculiarities of this year's harvest, favorable manufacturing conditions and even a comet that flew that year, which, according to signs, had a good effect on the quality of the drink.
Contrary to popular belief, wine cannot last forever. If it is very old, then it begins to taste like ordinary vinegar.
The most expensive alcoholic beverage in the world
The most expensive alcohol is a bottle of D'Amalfi Limoncello Supreme citrus liqueur. In principle, it is the bottle that determines the tremendous price of the drink. The neck of the vessel is decorated with three diamonds of 13 carats, another one, 18 carats, is located on the bottle itself.
For the first time, liqueur topped the ranking of the most expensive drinks. Usually whiskey or cognac sorts appeared in the first lines.
The liqueur itself is a kind of limoncello, the national Italian citrus drink with a pure sweet taste. The composition of limoncello is extremely simple - lemons, sugar and alcohol. In total, two bottles of D'Amalfi Limoncello Supreme were made, one of which has already been found by the owner. It is not yet known how the most expensive drink in the world tasted, but for such a price it should be unusually pleasant.
