MAD, Hungary - A Hungarian winemaker in the Tokaj region known for its golden dessert wine is selling a vintage for $40,000 a bottle, hoping to revive the royal heritage of a wine revered by kings and connoisseurs.

It is said France’s Louis XIV, the Sun King, described the wine as “the wine of kings and the king of wines.” A smaller, 0.4-litre bottle of “Essencia”, the richest and rarest of all Hungarian Tokaj wines according to the producer’s description, costs about $424 at online retailers. There are only 18 bottles offered for sale, with the prospect of an increase in value, the wine will keep maturing in the bottle for decades or longer, said wine expert Matyas Szik.
