There are single bottles that go for more than that...saw one before....didn’t get a taste ... a lot of them are pure investment and/or brag rights. $100/bottle wine is not rare and 1 a night for a month would get you to 3K...so I could see a few cases easily getting to 30K. (again haven’t had any of those).

But yeah that’s a lot of wine. I’m guessing he was ordering 5 cases at a time if he tried something and liked it. Just silly.

At $500 a bottle that is 2 bottles of wine per day. That’s pretty dear stuff. If it is Ripple (say Chateau Ripple Blanc, Jan 30th vintage, 1.69 a pint) that is 74 gallons per day.

I'll bet he was buying the "collectible" stuff that goes for thousands of dollars per bottle. Besides, the wine is just the tip of the iceberg - he was spending $2 Million per month, total (not including the major purchases like his umpteen mansions, his yacht or his island in the Bahamas).

I'm not saying that he shouldn't enjoy his good fortune, but a touch of moderation wouldn't hurt.

One easy way would be to drink nothing but premier cru burgundy and first growth bordeaux

“How do you drink $30,000/month in wine?” Not that hard to do, really. If he is a student of fine wines he can purchase them at auction. Just recently at WineBid, a wine bidding site on the net which is probably like the type of bidding a recluse would use, a bottle of 1994 Sine Qua Non Queen of Spades auctioned at $3560 while close to it a bottle of 2012 Sine Qua Non The Writing On The Wall sold at $4800. Now, these are not wines to consume as much as own. They are an investment like antique cars. But this is how you can run up a $30K “habit” so easily. He just has to figure out how to budget like the rest of us. I’m not sure he has the ability to do that as he is an over reactive, weak minded fool. red

He’s either quite the lush or the wine is $1000+ per bottle

HE must be lying in a dark room with it being pumped into him via an IV

He spends that much a month on wine. He doesn't necessarily drink it all each month.

He probably has several houses with wine cellars and pays somebody to fill them.

Easy

A one thousand dollar bottle a day

Petrus

Any Grand Cru big house Bordeaux or Burgundy

Or a top Amarone from Italy

It’d be easy
