17. For $13,333 per bottle

the wine had better do something well past spectacular. I mean more than just every sexual fantasy, it had better make me smarter, better looking and give me a better personality.

I get that there's a difference in a bottle of wine that costs $5 and one that costs $25, but I can't imagine ever paying more or less $3,333 per glass of anything.
