Penfolds Grange 1951 bottle expected to smash world record price July 5th, 2021 Image: Max Schubert with Grange. A rare bottle of Penfolds Grange 1951 that is made even rarer having been signed and re-corked by hand by Chief Winemaker and creator of Penfolds Grange Max Schubert is expected to break the world record price if it sells at the online Langton’s Rewards of Patience auction this month. “This bottle is one of a kind in the world, and I’ve never seen anything like it in my more than 20 years in fine wine. We expect it to go under the hammer for around $120,000* if it sells,” said Langton’s Head of Auctions Tamara Grischy.
