The most expensive bottle of Port Wine was sold at an auction in Hong Kong by the Acker Merrall & Condit auctioneer and its sale value was 127.000 dollars.

This bottle entered Guiness World of Records as the most expensive Port Wine ever. It is a Vintage of 1863 of the house Niepoort in a Lalique crystal bottle.

Niepoort is a Dutch family with a great tradition in the wine world that started marketing Port Wine in 1842.

In 1905, its founder decided to bottle a 40-year-old wine in 11 demijohns. Over the years, this wine was used to make several batches of the best Port in the house. One demijohn left over and was used to fill 5 bottles requested to the famous French Cristallerie Lalique, each one with the signature of the 5 Niepoort generations.

It was one of these 5 precious bottles that was auctioned for the highest price ever given to a Port Wine.

This wine from 1863 is a reference in the history of Port Wine, since it comes from a time before the plague of phylloxera that devastated the vineyards of the Alto Douro and changed them forever.
