Decanter reports that Penfolds have commissioneda dozen hand crafted "ampoules" for the release their 2004 Kalimna Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon.

 

OK, the packaging may be super-fancy, but is this really worth A$168,000 (US$ 172,000 or £109,000)? At the end of the day isn't it just bottle of wine??

This little article asks the question of why people get labelled as wine ponces.

 

It's worth a read, but I tend to think that people get derogatory labels such as "snob" and "bore" more for their demeanour than their olfactory ability.
