(Reuters) - Always wanted a wine cellar, but never had the room? Sotheby's auction house has a solution. It opened a retail wine shop.The store on the first floor of its New York building has what Sotheby's head of wines in the Americas and Asia Jamie Ritchie described as "a rather broad selection of wines" at prices ranging from $13.95 to $40,000 a bottle.
"Our selection includes the best producers," Ritchie said, "but also our favorite wines that may be less well known."
So not far from the bottle of Lafite Rothschild (1996) for $1,350, a customer can find a bottle of Chateau Franc Couplet (2005) for $13.95.
