If Romanee-Conti 1945 Is Too Cheap And Common For You

If you are exceedingly rich and find Ronanee-Conti 1945 rather cheap and common for you, you may have to forego wine and order a new luxary vodka! Blackwood Distillers on Scotland's Shetland Islands sells a vodka called Diva. The bottle contains a column filled with jewels. They also will design a special bottle for you that can cost up to



540000 UK Pounds ! The price depends on the size and type of jewels you select. Their web site at

has to be seen to be believed. For mere mortals, they sell lower priced versions costing only a few thousand Pounds. Of course you may have to settle for cubic zirconia for versions for commoners. And you thought top wine was expensive.

Ah, but is it Genuine? Has it Provenance?

N.B.: Further to earlier thread on Subject wine, an expert friend, who has advised the French gentleman cited before, comments that between two and four magnums of "1945 Romanée-Conti" can be found online on average, "and even sometimes a Jeroboam" in a bumper month.
