You could have coloured water in the bottle and nobody would ever open it to find out. :crap:

Lawrence: Now, all these wines are very old. I bought them to make sure they were cared for properly.

Freddie: You got a lot of wine to drink.

Lawrence: They're too valuable to drink.

Freddie: So you sell them?

Lawrence: Never, they mean too much to me.

Always wondered about that collecting pass time, I have. Hundred year old tofu is kinda the same sort of issue.

Why ?

One of my friends summed it up best for me. "It's whisky, it's for 'drinkin'".

But not at $1200 a shot it ain't, not for this man.

Let's see. One could purchase more than 700 bottles of 12 year old Glenlivet for that price. Not sure the 50 year old is 700 times better than the 12. But then I tend to be a reverse snob.

Depending on how much of the 12 year old you were drinking, it wouldn't really matter.

25 year old is pretty damn smooth, but even that is dear at the price (I certainly can't afford it, but a friend of the family had some on hand). Maybe 50 year old is twice as good? And therefore justifies being ten times as expensive?

Perhaps the quality improves exponentially, and not geometrically, and thus the price, being directly related to the quality, likewise grows exponentially.
