What's the rarest (but not necessarily the most expensive) wine?

I would have thought that due to our inconsistant weather, it would be English made wine. I've only ever seen it being sold online, and not in the supermarkets in the area I live.

There used to be a time when we used to have the proper weather for each season, when it was summer, it was actually hot and when it was winter, we got snow!

There's loads of countries that are not famous for wine production but still make it for their own consumption.
I think Albania is one of them.


There's also the islands in the med where a landowner may have their own grape vines and produce their own. It may only be several bottles at a time so is quite rare in that sense.

I made a bottle from some slightly gone off gapes. As it's unique it's the rarest wine in the world.

English wine can be pretty good and there are about 100 vinyards

Lebanese wine is amazing. They have the perfect climate in the Bekaa Valley and French vines from the time of the French mandate. I did a tour of the wineries there.

Musar is a classic.

They will still stock it though, it may just become more expensive

It is scary how much top restaurants here charge for it compared to what we paid in Lebanon at the winery
