The price of these bottles does not reflect quality, but demand, scarcity
and compound interest. 80 years ago the price for Lafite, Latour,
Haut-Brion was 3-5 times that of ordinary wine..., which, in my opinion is
closer to the real quality difference.

Btw, 160USD a bottle is cheap today... Wine-searcher indicates
500-1000USD....
