  • From BBCLearningEnglish.com Hello this is 6 Minute English from BBCLearningEnglish.

  • I'm Sam.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • Rob would you describe yourself as a wine connoisseur?

  • If you mean am I someone who enjoys wine and knows a lot about it then no.

  • Although the enjoy part is true, particularly a nice glass of red.

  • Of course, wine might not be everybody's cup of tea, not something they like.

  • But wine has been an important part of history and language.

  • And even if you don't drink alcohol, wine can be used as a commodity you can invest in and sell at an auction.

  • And that brings me to my quiz question, Rob.

  • In 2018, a bottle of wine dating back to 1774 sold at auction in Eastern France for a record breaking price.

  • Do you know how much it was sold for?

  • Was it a $20,800, b, 120,800,
