Do you recall off hand what the name of the most expensive bottle was
which you've ever purchased? I think before this my most expensive
bottle was $22 for a bottle of d'Arenberg Laughing Magpie. I've been
buying in the $8-22$ range myself. $8-11$ for a regular bottle just
to sip on for an ordinary run of the mill evening and $11 or more for
those special occasion wines. I don't see myself ever paying over $40
for a bottle though. There seem to be enough good wines out there for
under $40 for me to ever need to spend over that on a bottle.
