20,345 US$ for a bottle of wine

And just when I wrote a post about the high food prices I read in the news paper about a Singaporean Business man who bought 12 bottles of wine for 244,133US$.
The sale took place in Hong Kong at a wine auction held by Acker Merral& Condit at the Shangri - La Hotel.
The Singaporean Business man paid a record 244,133US$ for 12 bottles of 1990 Domaine de le Romanee-Conti. According to wine experts, it is the most expensive and most rare wine in the world.
It is another prove that food prices are rising!
But in this case I don't think that the man in question will starve to dead.
He might have the most expensive hang-over in his life though!!!!!
