You only need $1 million to buy it!

The scary thing here is that 25 units have been pre-ordered!

For book lovers maybe, but wine lovers ??

I guess there'll be some nice six packs included in the deal...

You'd have to have a lot of faith in the publisher to make a million (US) dollar pre-order when they won't tell you which the 100 wineries are, who will be choosing them or even how they will be chosen. I mean, I'd hate to shell out US$1m and then get my free six packs of E&J Gallo, Oxford Landing and so forth...

I'm sure all the big names will be included, but even so, the average bottle cost assuming 100x 6 bottles will be included is in excess of $1600 per bottle! Not many wines above the $1000 mark i'd imagine, so good profit none the less. I guess it will all come gilded in gold and look very, very pretty.

Damn, another great money making idea stolen. i'm amazed they are only going to make 100, maybe it'll be an annual thing!!! :lol:
