The ultimate grape juice!


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.
