This is the most expensive grape juice I
have ever bought - at around $10 per ml! This is a bottle of Tokaji Eszensia
from Stanza, and it is not vintage dated. I bought it in 2004 and at the time,
I think there was information on the Internet, which gave the vintage as 1996.
In the previous entry about Eszensia, I wrote that these celestial elixirs are
very low in alcohol, so low that the winemakers protested they could not
consistently exceed a proposed minimum of 5% alcohol. Peter Vinding-Diers, who
made this offering, took the low alcohol idea to its ultimate conclusion and
released this non-alcoholic version in 100 ml bottles with its own little light
blue cardboard carton.
