A standard bottle is 750 ml and a magnum is twice that (1500 ml) so presuming they bottle magnums, a magnum would sell for around $17,000.

The most expensive magnum ...

sold for $2.5 million.

I wonder what the corkage fee would be for a $2.5 million bottle ?
We were at a convention once when everyone decided to dine at a fine Italian Restuarant, the waiter accidently ran the corkscrew in too far and a piece of the cork wound up in one of the guys glass. He immediately spouted off this wine has been corked. I said something to the effect. like you can tell the difference since the only wine you have ever consumed came in a cardboard box, shut up and quit trying to get a free meal
