Where Wine Costs the Most

Ever wonder what city in the world is the most expensive to buy wine in? Surprisingly, there are some significant differences in bottle prices from place to place. Whether the retailer is private, a national chain or a monopoly, pricing is quite variable for various reasons. Government regulations, taxes and cost of living in that particular region all play a huge part. Ranking number one as the most expensive city to buy wine in is Singapore. It’s held this position for the third year in a row. Second place is held by two cities: Zurich and Hong Kong. London, New York and Los Angeles are also in the top ten and Sydney, Melbourne and Oslo are not far behind. So if you’re a wine drinker and not in one of the above cities, don’t complain about the price of that bottle.
