Undrinkable Drop Of Wine Costs $130,000

Just because a wine is undrinkable does not stop some people from paying through the nose for it.

But, as the vintage Chateau d'Yquem was made and bottled in 1787, it will be better looked at than quaffed.

A Nasa native company in southern Colombia has created a golden, carbonated drink made from coca leaf extract and they plan to market it as an alternative to Coca-Cola.

Coca Sek goes on sale this week in parts of Colombia but its makers said they probably won't be able to export to the United States or most other countries due to rules blocking the entry of raw coca, the plant from which cocaine is refined.
