Christie’s said Tuesday it is selling a bottle of French wine that spent more than a year orbiting Earth aboard the International Space Station, The Associated Press reported.
The Pétrus 2000 is one of 12 bottles sent into space in November 2019 by researchers exploring the potential for extraterrestrial agriculture, the AP reported.
Sending the wine, which goes for $10,000 per bottle on Earth, into space will probably make it worth 100 times its value on the ground.
The bottle of wine will be offered in a trunk handcrafted by the Parisian Maison d’Arts Les Ateliers Victor, Christie’s said in its release.
