18 Liters Bottle Of Wine Tipped To Fetch £4,800 At Auction


For lovers of wine fine, quality drops don't come much bigger than this 2006 bottle of Chateau Cheval Blanc. But those hoping to add it to their collection will need a large wine cellar - because at 18 litres (4.8 gallons) it is significantly bigger than the bottles most people are used to.

The large bottle, referred to as a melchior, is expected to fetch £4,800 ($7,500) when it goes on sale as part of the Finest and Rarest Wines and Vintage Port auction at Sotheby's next week.
