Here’s how he retires drinking like a rich tennis star. (Illustration: Stanley Chow)
Feder collection
The tennis star is said to have been a wine lover for a long time. Now that she’s retired, she might as well have another drink. These wines would suit him and any connoisseur with the means.
What distinguishes a great wine? Without a significant and exceptional location of a vineyard, regardless of the wine region of the planet, nothing works. Without the passion of the winemaker, it is impossible to conjure up something extraordinary in the bottle. A noble growth has power, complexity, elegance and, thanks to these characteristics, has a remarkable ability to keep for decades. Apart from taste, prestige and fame, there is obviously another criterion which proves to be superior in choosing the best wines in the world: high quality, balanced from year to year.
Great wines cost a lot of money. For the most expensive drop in the world, the Musigny Grand Cru of the cult domain Leroy from Burgundy, almost 38,000 dollars have to be shelled out – per bottle. Even for 10th place, the Chambertin Grand Cru from the same winery, it’s still $14,000. Surreal buzz. It would probably be convenient for Swiss tennis star Roger Federer. For his retreat away from the big sporting stages, we have brought together great wines from all over the world. They would give the winery the appropriate highlights. They’re exclusivity that isn’t fully priced yet, but usually costing triple-digit sums.
