Chateau Lafite breaks a record for the highest selling price

A 300-bottle collection of Chateau Lafite Rothschild has sold for almost $540,000 in Hong Kong at a Christie’s auction. This is a world record price for a single wine lot auctioned. The collection spanning 1981 to 2005 was knocked down for HK$4.2 million ($539,250) at Christie’s two-day Autumn wine sale, which is expected to rake in over $5 million in sales, the auction giant said late Saturday.
