Most expensive widely available vintage and non vintage wine and champagne and most expensive spirits?

I cant speak to all of these, but in reference to the whisky, I can say there are quite a few good bourbon's in particular Pappy Van Winkle comes to mind, I have the 23 year and it'll run 250-300 a bottle. This is for a same year release, If you bought an older vintage I would say it could cost more. I think speaking retail would be a better point of argument, because when something becomes collectible like a 64 la tour well then were talking auctions, and all sorts of prices variation, I mean there is no way to say what something is worth other than measuring it by what someone is willing to pay for it. Now when you say widely available I assume that to mean retail basically, or at least retail through the net, this being said most of the really good brands of spirits are hard to get internationally, well thats not completely true but in alot of cases in can be. I've never seen a bottle of Pappy van Winkle in europe, then again I've been to scotland, and you can't touch a bottle of decent scotch for the price they ask for it over there, but here in the states it's generally a way better deal. The brits tax the heck out of spirits forcing all the people to drink ale, and lager it seems. I think maybe you need to re-phraze your question. Should we include port or madiera, sake, there are a ton of alcohols in the world, cachasa, rum, I mean, and what is widely available, the net, the states...I guess the question just seems to broad to me to offer alot of info.
