Hope no bright spark from HSA reads this stream - imagine a $250k monte open lol

Considering that that wine was released 5 years ago in a standard bottle for under $250, it's more about it being a piece of art than a bottle of wine. The Block 42 vines at the Kalimna vineyard were used to create the 1953 Grange, so there is a bit of history associated with it.

Then again, you can buy a standard bottle of this wine right now for about $650, so you're really paying a premium for a bit of designer glass.

The price which contains numbers 168 seem to be targeted towards Chinese Buyers... I can just see a Chinese asking "$168K??? I'll take two please"

Perhaps in Australia, but in China the price would be about $1.09m RMB.
