Imagine this!
A 200-year-old bottle of French wine has become the most valuable white wine in the world, after it was sold for almost €85,000.
The 1811 Chateau d'Yquem has been bought by a restaurant owner in Bali.
Antique wine collector Stephen Williams, who sold the bottle, has said it is probably still drinkable.
I love the "probably" - haha on the buyer if it is simply ancient vinegar. I have some of that myself... Sure will make one expensive tossed salad...

Hmmm - in American money? Anyone want to multiply that by 1.41??? Oh, right - I will do it - it comes to nearly 120,000 USD. (Right?) Pocket money.

Oh definitely Bobbie, I have at least that much in my pocket!
Thanks for calculating that!
