It was bought from him by Pernod-Ricarde in 1974 and killed in 1984.

Who would pay millions for the Mona Lisa if Leonardo da Vinci had pushed out 10,000 a year for 30 years. Currently a 75cl bottle will cost one €300, and that's not because of its flavour; but because of its rarity. Isn't that the rational of the collecting industry?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
