Christie's Images Ltd. 2021 For most wine drinkers, a budget bottle from the grocery store is perfectly sufficient. But for the adventurous wine connoisseur with a discerning palate — and a lot of money — there is a new frontier: space wine. A bottle of "space-aged" Pétrus 2000, a luxury wine that recently returned from a 14-month spin on the International Space Station, can now be purchased via the auction house Christie's. It will be sold alongside a bottle of "terrestrial" wine from the same vintage for easy comparison. "This bottle of Pétrus 2000 marks a momentous step in the pursuit of developing and gaining a greater understanding of the maturation of wine," said Tim Triptree, international director of Christie's wine and spirits department.
