Billionaire Pierre Chen is selling 25,000 bottles of wine including burgundies valued at £156,000 and a very rare 1982 Pétrus. The most valuable wine collection that ever came to market could fetch £41m. He has collected these bottles over the course of 40 years.
Chen, 66, is the founder and chair of Yageo Corporation, which makes electronic components for cars, computers and mobile phones. He is ranked only 466th on Forbes’ rich list, with a fortune estimated at $5.5bn. He considers wine an art form as he believes the winemaker must inject his/her own creativity into it.
I'll drink to that.
So if he collected these wines and he thinks they are art for the senses, why didn't he drink any of them to experience his art?
