　　During the winter, most London auctioneers have wine auctions. Some are of wines for 61 drinking, but most are of fine wines. Last winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1954 were

　　62 down at 158 the bottle. 1945 and 1961 are the two most 63 vintage years for claret. Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay. Not 64 ago, an American at Christies paid 8,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806.

　　Sometimes，it is a matter of personal 65 by the very rich. At other times there can be a 66 objective.

That is, naturally, taking inflation into 72 But there is no 73 that a bottle of wine at 1,000 is a hundred times 74 than one that costs 10. Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is 100 a bottle. Above 100，you are paying for something 75 than taste.
