Ten years ago, the wine was brewed from the first batch of wild grapes planted in the red wine factory.
Since the wild grapes were limited, so the wine was also limited. There were only one hundred bottles worldwide. As soon as the wine launched in the market, it was sold out.
Due to its limited amount, this wine was pretty costly. The first fifty bottles were sold at one million dollars each bottle. The last fifty bottles were less expensive but also were sold for several hundred thousand dollars per each.
Although it was costly, there were many wealthy people in this world, so they were still sold out.
When Jared received the call from the wine factory, he directly bought ten bottles. However, he had already finished all of them.
Since this batch of wine was sold too fast, the wine factory didn't make its information public. Therefore, most people didn't know about such a kind of wine.
However, Amber had such a bottle of wine.
Jared was surprised. She couldn't afford such a bottle of wine to her financial capabilities.
That was why he was shocked.
Amber didn't know what was in his mind. Upon hearing his words, she sat down and answered, "Yeah, it's good. I heard it's worth several hundreds of thousand dollars. It's my father's collection. I heard one of his friends gave it to him. He was reluctant to drink it, so it was left. I didn't think it was from his friend. My father liked drinking, and he also liked collecting famous wine and liquor. I guess he had bought it himself. I also don't know if this wine is worth that much money. I looked it up online but failed to find any information about it. If I hadn't known my father was a wine expert, I would have suspected he had been deceived and bought a counterfeit and inferior-grade wine."
Amber smiled, her eyes full of nostalgia.
Jared plucked off the cork, poured some into a goblet, and gave it to her. "I don't know if your father has bought it himself, but he didn't lie about the price."
Amber's hand holding the goblet trembled. "No way! Is it really that expensive?"
"Of course." Jared poured it into his goblet and sat down. He shook the wine slightly, smelt its aroma, and continued, "It's one of the one hundred bottles in this world. The first fifty bottles were sold for one million dollars each, and the last fifty bottles were sold for several hundred thousand dollars. This one..."
Jared reached out to turn around the bottle and read the number. Raising his eyebrows, he said, "See the number fifty? This happens to be the fiftieth bottle."
"Does it mean this bottle costs one million dollars?" Amber said in a trembling tone. She gazed at the wine bottle and then her goblet, swallowing hard.
Although her father showed it off to her long ago, Amber never believed him. She thought he was bluffing as he was good at it.
However, the bottle of wine was indeed valuable.
Amber didn't think Jared deceived her because he didn't need to lie about such a thing to her.
Looking at her surprised face, Jared chuckled. "Yeah, one million dollars indeed."
One million dollars!
Amber hurriedly put down her goblet. "I won't drink it. It's so costly. One sip would cost me tens of thousands of dollars. It's a pity to drink it. I feel as if I'm not drinking wine but money. I'll feel guilty if I drink it. I need to pour it back and seal the bottle. Then it'll be passed to my later generations as the family treasure. You can't drink it either."
Then she reached out to grab Jared's goblet.
Although she was born into a wealthy family and used to drink expensive wine, she had never drunk something wine above fifty thousand dollars.
In fact, even a fifty-thousand-dollar wine was way too expensive for her, let alone a-million-dollar wine.
Anyway, she couldn't take a sip at all.
Jared didn't expect her reaction after knowing the price. She didn't only want to pour her own wine back but also wanted to grab his.
He wouldn't allow it.
