Forgotten $250 Wine Bottle from the 1970s Now Valued at $80,000.

A California man is selling a rare 3-liter bottle of 1971 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche wine that he bought for $250 in the 1970s and left unopened in his basement for decades. The auction house, Bonhams Skinner, estimates the bottle could fetch between $50,000 and $80,000, with the possibility of reaching $100,000. The bottle is exceptionally rare, and the quality of the wine is considered to be exceptional. The sale will take place between April 16 and 26, along with five other vintage bottles from his collection.
