A single bottle of wine has sold for £135,000 in a London auction.
The six-litre bottle of 1961 Chateau Latour was sold to a Chinese bidder at Christie's auction house.
The sum was more than three times the expected price. Wine experts said the bottle was of "perfect provenance".
It would take someone earning the average UK wage more than five years to save up for the bottle. After tax, Prime Minister David Cameron could not afford it with his annual salary.
Not sure how they ended up selling it at such price, but it is ..... outrageous.
