Christie's new record

Article Abstract:

Christie's twice smashed the world auction record for the highest price paid for a case of wine at the house's inaugural evening auction Los Angeles, California, in September 2006. A case of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945 sold for a stunning US$290,000 and a six-magnum case of Mouton-Rothschild 1945 for US$345,000, or the equivalent of US$28,750 a 750ml bottle, both lots going to the same anonymous buyer, who placed bids by telephone.
