Rare Burgundy
A 228 litre (48-gallon) lot of high-quality wine named Apollo 15 was bought at a wine auction in Dijon, France, today for a record figure of 6500 francs ($1050) by a merchant representing the National Aeronautics Space Agency. The wine, of the Nuits Saint-Georges variety, was named Apollo 15 in return for the naming a moon crater “Saint George” by the American astronaut, Colonel Michael Scott.— Dijon, March 29.
