The most expensive wine in the world, this is the “price for the drink

The drink, which comes from a Hungarian producer, has established this award, hoping to reach the restoration of a royal heritage of drink, which is said to be preferred by the ruling class at the time of monarchs.

The volcanic region in northeastern Hungary, Tokay, produces wine with the method of growing grapes in the vine to sweeten it as much as possible.

As harvesttime approached, Hungarian farmers had to leave their vineyards and go to war with the Turks. But when they returned two months later, they found the grapes covered by “botitis”, a gray mushroom similar to mold. In order not to be wasted, they decided to turn it into wine, revealing a new recipe.

The XIV Louis allegedly described “Tokaji” (or Earth) as the <x2nd> of kings and the king of wine”.

The $14,000 - pound [1.5 L] sale bottle is the most expensive of all wines.
