NOVPUBChapter 914: Chapter 602: Sima Fanghua鈥檚 Repayment of Kindness Chapter 914 -602: Sima Fanghua鈥檚 Repayment of Kindness 鈥淭his wine has a very distinctive taste, somewhat like brandy, but it鈥檚 different鈥
Nonetheless, since it has received Mr.
Chu鈥檚 admiration, I conservatively estimate that this wine must be a genuine article worth at least a million.
If that鈥檚 the case, the range of possibilities narrows down significantly.
Among them, the premium whiskey from Petersburg Winery in France meets the criteria.
Petersburg Winery has a collection of six bottles of 1900 vintage whiskey, each with a history of over a hundred years.
Because they have been well-preserved, their flavor not only hasn鈥檛 evaporated but has become even more mellow.
...
Five years ago, at an auction in Britain鈥檚 grand cathedral, one of these premium whiskeys was sold for the astronomical price of 3.7 million鈥
However, I鈥檝e heard that these whiskeys, having traveled with ships around the world and drifted in the sea for years, have a faint scent of the ocean鈥
Although Mr.
Chu鈥檚 wine is robust, it lacks that faint ocean scent, so it shouldn鈥檛 be the premium whiskey.鈥
In the grand hall of Emperor鈥檚 Mansion Villa Number One, Chu Mo, now dressed in casual clothes, sat tranquilly in the chief seat.
Opposite him sat Sima Fanghua, a woman of stunning beauty, narrating smoothly.
潡堭潣凁潟橉潣?co
At that moment, a young lady in a white dress stared intently at the first-rate white wine in front of her.
While she spoke, she also continuously observed Chu Mo鈥檚 reactions.
When she denied that the bottle was a premium whiskey, she saw Chu Mo鈥檚 lips slightly curl up, followed by Sima Fanghua, who appeared even more confident as she continued:
鈥淚n this world, there are roughly eleven wines that meet the criteria for this particular bottle.
After eliminating some specific types, there are about three that could still meet the requirements.
Now that the Petersburg Winery鈥檚 premium whiskey has been ruled out, only two choices remain.
One of them is a premium brandy from Bolan Winery in Italy.
This wine has a two-hundred-year history, but there鈥檚 only half a bottle left in the world, and that half bottle is the lifeblood of Bolan Winery, which they would never easily part with.
As for the last eligible one, it would be the special-grade XO collected by Victoria Winery in France.
Victoria Winery owns eleven bottles of special-grade XO, each boasting over eighty years of history.
At an auction ten years ago, such a bottle of special-grade XO fetched an impressive 1.7 million.
As for now, I鈥檝e heard from my father that the price of a bottle is at least 3.5 million or higher; Mr.
Chu, what you have here should be this type of special-grade XO, right?鈥
Sima Fanghua was brimming with confidence.
From a young age, she possessed a keen intuition for fine wines.
Although she wasn鈥檛 fond of drinking, she had developed a unique interest in collecting fine wines under her father鈥檚 influence.
Sima Fanghua鈥檚 eyes remained fixed on the exquisite wine in front of her, the aromatic scent wafting to her nose making her almost drool.
Although she usually did not drink alcohol, facing a three to four million dollar bottle of premium liquor made her very eager to taste it.
After all, even her father鈥檚 wine cellar did not possess a wine of this caliber, not even her father had tasted it.
Just as Sima Fanghua鈥檚 face showed certainty, Chu Mo slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, his face beaming with a smile as he looked at the confident woman in front of him, casually remarking,
鈥淪ince you had already guessed that this wine might be the premium brandy from Bolan Winery, why then did you deny it?鈥
Hearing this, Sima Fanghua was momentarily stunned, and then she too curled up her lips, her demeanor as lovely as a blooming flower, softly saying:
鈥淢r.
Chu, it鈥檚 not that I doubt your capabilities, but this wine simply could not be the premium brandy.
The bottle of premium brandy stored at Bolan Winery, that鈥檚 the lifeblood of the entire Bolan family.
Who doesn鈥檛 know that Bolan Winery has become one of the world鈥檚 top wineries because of that inherited premium brandy?
That bottle already has a history of over two hundred years, strictly speaking, it鈥檚 now two hundred and fifteen years, reputedly the world鈥檚 last premium brandy.
Every wine enthusiast in the world wants to get their hands on that bottle.
It鈥檚 said that one of the top three billionaires on the Forbes list from Argentina, with assets worth tens of trillions, once offered ten million to purchase that premium brandy, but was still refused by Bolan Winery.
So, that bottle is not just any bottle, it鈥檚 the entire livelihood of Bolan Winery.
Moreover, that premium brandy is the world鈥檚 only special first-grade wine, and the only bottle in the world over two hundred years old; Bolan Winery would never sell it no matter the cost.鈥
Sima Fanghua, in her white dress, spoke with a grave expression.
As a wine enthusiast who enjoyed collecting fine wines, the premium brandy from Bolan Winery was truly a holy grail for wine aficionados worldwide, and anyone who possessed it would indeed be gloriously honored.
It was Chu Mo鈥檚 first serious look at the quaint bottle in front of him.
He had initially obtained it simply to fulfill Qin Lan鈥檚 wish, so he had directly demanded it from Bolan Winery without considering its terrifying value.
Even after tasting it himself, apart from its intense mellow flavor, Chu Mo could not discern any special taste.
However, for this bottle, Chu Mo had indeed made some promises to the people from Bolan Winery, like supplying all the fine wines for the Longevity Club exclusively from Bolan Winery and so on.
For Chu Mo, these were merely trivial matters, and he hadn鈥檛 seriously thought about the reasons behind them.
