The manipulation and marketing of rare collectibles. Collectors are buying history, once that history can be verified!

World Record looks to be surpassed for a bottle of alcohol!

Andy Simpson of Rarewhisky101, one of the world's best known and most respect rare whisky consultants, classifies auction bidders into three categories: drinkers, collectors and investors.

Drinkers can be excluded from this equation as once a standard bottle gets above $30,000, it is simply too expensive to drink – $2000 a shot is about the point where rare spirits cross the line into a traded commodity that has transcended its original purpose as an alcoholic beverage.

Wealth Solutions has now shown its hand in how to leverage an investment such as this for short term gains, it seems even more likely we’re going to see a bidding war on this bottle and the world record price for a bottle of cognac is not out of the question when bidding closes.

Only the investors and the collectors that bid at auction for a bottle in this price range. Given the above activities surrounding the last bottle of Gautier cognac however, it's quite possible we're going to see a new type of investor enter the fray on a regular basis.

In some ways it is analogous to the dismembering of books such as the elephant edition of John James Audubon's Birds of America. Individually, the leaves of that book fetch more at auction than the whole, so we're seeing copies dismembered and sold as individual leaves.

If investors buy the oldest bottle of cognac and "dismember it", more enthusiasts will be able to have a moment of what once was, but what once was will no longer be, and that is a shame.
