I very, very nearly once spent 3,500 Euros on a bottle of cognac.
I was in Paris, I was pissed right up, and the cognac was from 1806.

Still not sure if I should have bought it.

This principle has always confused me
I assume you wouldn't drink it, as no matter how vintage you're still paying a fuckload of money to get drunk, but the idea of buying and not drinking alcohol is abhorrent to me.

Fuck that shit, fuck that shit.
I planned to drink it.

I'm glad to hear it
People who collect really fucking old booze and don't drink it annoy me. 1806 was a great year for Cognac, I assume?

I'm guessing EVERY year was a great year for cognac

1939-1945 was probably a dry spell

Do it, get it insured, and then claim it was lost in a series of minature drouts (ala the cigar arson case).
