A bottle of 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti sold for a record-smashing $812,500 at Acker’s annual La Paulée Auction this weekend.

The auction raked in $25 million in total sales from bottles produced by additional famed Burgundian estates.

The near-$1 million sale bested the previous world record set at a Sotheby’s auction in 2018 when a different bottle of 1945 DRC went for $558,000.

$812,500 = £610,060.20

I'm not a wine drinker myself... i'm not that sophisticated.... but it does make me wonder if the taste is much different to a £12 bottle from Asda

1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Sold For $812,500—Setting Wine Record

The new record was set by a single bottle of 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

I hate wine snobbery! snobbery in the wine trade absolutely exists. White haired gold button blazers snobs declaring they’re only interested in the Bordeaux and Burgundy. I find it hilarious when they describe the wine as full bodied, with a hint of bold berries then lightly sprinkled with smoked oak shaving sucking in their cheeks to savour the wine then spit it out!!! ffs give me a break

We're of the same opinion. I've seen the wine snobbery first hand.. and let me tell you, for a puppet with reasonable social skills and a brass neck when it comes to public displays of 'live and let live'.... I was thoroughly embarrassed to be associated with the highly esteemed gentry. I've been on nights out with boisterous bikers who had more 'class'.
