‘2004 Block 42’ is the world's most expensive wine

Does this look like a wine bottle to you? Definately NO. At a first glance it may not seem like a wine bottle but this glass and metal cone contains the world’s most expensive wine and it is now on sale for a staggering £109,000.
The special edition ‘2004 Block 42’ cabernet sauvignon red wine is the only wine encased in bottle with no cork or screw cap, according to Australian winery Penfolds.
The red wine, which is limited to just 12 bottles, comes in an Ampoule which is hand-blown by Nick Mount, a famous glass artist from Adelaide, Australia.
Any buyer is likely to have a hangover before their first glass, with the 750ml bottle. This means each 150ml glass costs around £21,000.
The interesting thing is that when each bottle is sold, Penfolds’ chief winemaker Peter Gago will fly out to the destination and open it in a special ceremony.
