The wine trade platform Wine-Searcher has published the list of the ten most expensive wines in the world. For this purpose, the monthly worldwide average retail prices were determined. Individual vintages are not taken into account, but an overall price is determined for each individual wine.
Burgundy dominates this list in almost overwhelming form: Of the 50 most expensive wines listed on Wine-Searcher, only six are not from Burgundy. Only one non-Burgundy was able to establish itself among the top ten: The Scharzhofberger Riesling TBA from Egon Müller (Saar). Here is the list of the ten most expensive wines in the world with the changes compared to the previous year:
Compared to the previous year, the prices for Leroy wines, some of which have fallen considerably, are striking, even though the first-placed Musigny Grand Cru rose by 29%. Experts were surprised by this increase. The Leroy Musigny was already 15 percent more expensive last year, which is twice as much as the worldwide inflation rate. This year, the inflation rate has halved, but for this wine it has doubled again.
Red wines have borne the brunt of the price increases, while white wines have lost on average.
