If you thought all the money being sent China’s way has gone to waste, take heed…a Chinese billionaire recently spent $500,000 to buy 27 bottles of coveted Romanee-Conti pinot noir…and he intends to drink that damn stuff instead of merely holding it for a few more years and selling it off to some noveau rich sucker. It sure is comforting to know hard-earned American money is going to such a worthy experience!
