We bought a Case of Lafifte, Well, it was bid as HKD$50,000, Now this case of wine came to us with minimum price of HKD$120,000. This is the magic and Charisma of Wine.
Hong Kong has become World No.1 Red Wine Auction centre with red wine transaction amount reaches 900 Millions this year.
Laffite, the liquidous Gold reaches the World Highest Record of auction price.
Last Friday 29 Oct, Sotheby HK made an auction of Three bottles of 1869 Laffite. We speculated the price would be just HKD$56,000.00 each, final bit was coming from an unidentified man, he offered HKD$1,500,000.00 a bottle. Or HKD$1,820,000.00 Including 21% commission.
We believe the mysterious man is a Chinese. This is the highest record of a single bottle of Laffite.. The price sis 6 times higher than the same weight of Gold!
I had received ads from some of the wine dealer that there is Lafife and Mouton selling at a price of HKD$200... roughly. Well a bottle of Mouton ot Lafife is minim a few thousand dollars!. This reminds me that there was Watch called " Rolexa" hand phone called "Nokla" Now we have Mouton and Lafitte. But these are not the same stuff as the Chateau Lafite Rothschild, and Chateau Mouton, this is different bottles, but I will try to see if there is surprises! Sometimes It may have some outstanding performnce with limited cost of investment... Without trying, We should not label is..
