Are you a wine connoisseur and a space lover? Well, get your wallet ready. The world's only space-aged wine is hitting the auction block at Christie's — but it'll cost you.
In November 2019, Space Cargo Unlimited launched an exciting experiment — 12 bottles of Petrus 2000 were sent up to the International Space Station for a 14-month stay, so researchers could analyze the effects of microgravity on wine. After their stint in space, they hitched a ride back to Earth in January 2021 and were sent home to France.
